# Project Blacksmith vs Choco Store

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Project Blacksmith at none against Choco Store's 17. Project Blacksmith also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (20% vs 6%). Choco Store's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (596 vs 116). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Choco Store sells 17 one-off in-app purchases. Project Blacksmith asks for nothing beyond the download.

Choco Store holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Choco Store has 596 ratings behind it against 116, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Project Blacksmith's written reviews are positive against 6% of Choco Store's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
