# Cruise vs Find the Differences

The clearest difference is ads: Cruise at none against Find the Differences's shown. Find the Differences's advantage is review sentiment (54% vs 27%) and ratings volume (75K vs 855). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cruise sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Find the Differences sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Find the Differences holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Find the Differences has 75K ratings behind it against 855, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 27% of Cruise's written reviews are positive against 54% of Find the Differences's.

Cruise ships an update fortnightly, Find the Differences monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
