# The Ghost vs Asylum 77

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Asylum 77 at none against The Ghost's 23. Asylum 77 also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.9). The Ghost's advantage is ratings volume (4.3K vs 368) and chart position (#61 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Ghost sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Asylum 77 asks for nothing beyond the download.

Asylum 77 holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Ghost has 4.3K ratings behind it against 368, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of The Ghost's written reviews are positive against 63% of Asylum 77's.
