# Find the Differences vs Detective, Find Differences

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Detective, Find Differences at 75% against Find the Differences's 54%. Find the Differences's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (75K vs 16K). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Find the Differences sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Detective, Find Differences sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Find the Differences holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 75K and 16K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Find the Differences's written reviews are positive against 75% of Detective, Find Differences's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
