# Crane Rescue 3D vs I'm Fireman

Crane Rescue 3D and I'm Fireman both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 49% of I'm Fireman's written reviews are positive against 6% of Crane Rescue 3D's. I'm Fireman also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Crane Rescue 3D's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 331) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Crane Rescue 3D sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and I'm Fireman sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Crane Rescue 3D against 4.3 for I'm Fireman. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crane Rescue 3D has 12K ratings behind it against 331, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 6% of Crane Rescue 3D's written reviews are positive against 49% of I'm Fireman's.
