# Black Distortion vs Panflow

The clearest difference is monetization model: Panflow at free against Black Distortion's free with in-app purchases. Panflow also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 15). Black Distortion's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Black Distortion holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 24 and 27 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Black Distortion's written reviews are positive against 89% of Panflow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
