# Gem Stack vs Gossip Run

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gossip Run at none against Gem Stack's 1. Gossip Run also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Gem Stack's advantage is ratings volume (36K vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gem Stack sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Gossip Run asks for nothing beyond the download.

Gossip Run holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gem Stack has 36K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Gem Stack's written reviews are positive against 33% of Gossip Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
