# Float vs Solar System Sim

The clearest difference is rating: Float at 5.0 against Solar System Sim's 4.5. Float also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). Solar System Sim's advantage is ratings volume (4.3K vs 21). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solar System Sim sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Float asks for nothing beyond the download.

Float holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solar System Sim has 4.3K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Float's written reviews are positive against 80% of Solar System Sim's.
