# Softris vs The Average game

Softris and The Average game both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 67% of The Average game's written reviews are positive against 23% of Softris's. The Average game also leads on ads (none vs shown). Softris's advantage is ratings volume (4.3K vs 5). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Softris sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and The Average game sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Softris against 4.6 for The Average game. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Softris has 4.3K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 23% of Softris's written reviews are positive against 67% of The Average game's.
