# Idle Acorns vs SudokuNoBS

The clearest difference is rating: Idle Acorns at 4.8 against SudokuNoBS's 3.0. Idle Acorns also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 2) and chart position (#183 vs unranked). SudokuNoBS's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and price ($0.49 vs $1.99). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Idle Acorns costs $1.99 and SudokuNoBS $0.49 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Idle Acorns holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idle Acorns has 1.2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Idle Acorns's written reviews are positive against 100% of SudokuNoBS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
