# Pool vs GoToHole

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pool at none against GoToHole's 4. Pool also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (72K vs 1). GoToHole's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 76%). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GoToHole sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Pool asks for nothing beyond the download.

GoToHole holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pool has 72K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of Pool's written reviews are positive against 100% of GoToHole's.
