# Dance Jam vs Doll Avatar Maker

Doll Avatar Maker's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (42K vs 50). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Dance Jam against 4.8 for Doll Avatar Maker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Doll Avatar Maker has 42K ratings behind it against 50, so its average is the more settled of the two.
