# Horde Baloon vs Canvas Run

The clearest difference is rating: Canvas Run at 4.5 against Horde Baloon's 3.0. Canvas Run also leads on ratings volume (35K vs 4). Horde Baloon's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (50% vs 29%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Canvas Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Horde Baloon asks for nothing beyond the download.

Canvas Run holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Canvas Run has 35K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Horde Baloon's written reviews are positive against 29% of Canvas Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
