# Exponential Idle vs Vectored

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vectored at none against Exponential Idle's 4. Vectored also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 92%). Exponential Idle's advantage is ratings volume (4.1K vs 5) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Exponential Idle sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Vectored asks for nothing beyond the download.

Exponential Idle holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Exponential Idle has 4.1K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Exponential Idle's written reviews are positive against 100% of Vectored's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
