# Destruction simulator vs Demolition Ball

The clearest difference is rating: Destruction simulator at 3.7 against Demolition Ball's 3.0. Destruction simulator also leads on ratings volume (102 vs 2). Demolition Ball's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 63%) and in-app purchases (none vs 8). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Destruction simulator sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Demolition Ball asks for nothing beyond the download.

Destruction simulator holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Destruction simulator has 102 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Destruction simulator's written reviews are positive against 100% of Demolition Ball's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
