# sugar (game) vs The Average game

The clearest difference is ads: The Average game at none against sugar (game)'s shown. The Average game also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3). sugar (game)'s advantage is ratings volume (410 vs 5) and review sentiment (82% vs 67%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. sugar (game) sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and The Average game sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Average game holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: sugar (game) has 410 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of sugar (game)'s written reviews are positive against 67% of The Average game's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
