# Pasta Machine vs Trap Master

Pasta Machine and Trap Master both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 50% of Trap Master's written reviews are positive against 16% of Pasta Machine's. Trap Master also leads on ratings volume (48K vs 8.7K). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pasta Machine sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Trap Master sells 25 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Written reviews are what separate them: 16% of Pasta Machine's written reviews are positive against 50% of Trap Master's.
