# Caracoles vs GPixel

Caracoles and GPixel both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 79% of GPixel's written reviews are positive against 38% of Caracoles's. GPixel also leads on ratings volume (517 vs 2). Caracoles's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Caracoles sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and GPixel sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
