# Craps Calculator vs Basic Strategy

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Basic Strategy at 100% against Craps Calculator's 38%. Basic Strategy also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.7) and ads (none vs shown). Craps Calculator's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (30 vs 5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Craps Calculator sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Basic Strategy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Craps Calculator has 30 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
