# Control Them vs Playground 3D!

The clearest difference is rating: Playground 3D! at 4.6 against Control Them's 2.5. Playground 3D! also leads on ratings volume (10K vs 2). Control Them's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 18) and review sentiment (100% vs 65%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Playground 3D! sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Control Them asks for nothing beyond the download.

Playground 3D! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Playground 3D! has 10K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Control Them's written reviews are positive against 65% of Playground 3D!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
