# SOM vs Escape From Clive

The clearest difference is rating: SOM at 4.5 against Escape From Clive's 3.2. SOM also leads on ratings volume (239 vs 31) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SOM sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Escape From Clive sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
