# Save the Pets vs Chips Factory!

The clearest difference is rating: Chips Factory! at 4.0 against Save the Pets's 2.6. Chips Factory! also leads on ads (none vs shown).

Both are free to download. Chips Factory! sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Save the Pets asks for nothing beyond the download.

Chips Factory! holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Save the Pets has 40 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 3% of Save the Pets's written reviews are positive against 0% of Chips Factory!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
