# Merge Cooking® vs Three3Three

The clearest difference is ads: Three3Three at none against Merge Cooking®'s shown. Merge Cooking®'s advantage is chart position (#3 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.5). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Merge Cooking® sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Three3Three sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
