# Rocket Punch! vs Drop Thorns

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Drop Thorns at 100% against Rocket Punch!'s 40%. Drop Thorns also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Rocket Punch!'s advantage is rating (4.6 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (27K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rocket Punch! sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Drop Thorns asks for nothing beyond the download.

Rocket Punch! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rocket Punch! has 27K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Rocket Punch!'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Drop Thorns's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
