# V720 vs Z

The clearest difference is rating: V720 at 4.3 against Z's 1.5. V720 also leads on ratings volume (5.2K vs 88). Z's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. V720 sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $0.39 per month. Z asks for nothing beyond the download.

V720 holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: V720 has 5.2K ratings behind it against 88, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 9% of V720's written reviews are positive against 5% of Z's.
