# NetHack vs Endless Nightmare

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Endless Nightmare at 100% against NetHack's 25%. Endless Nightmare also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.8) and monetization model (ad-supported vs paid). NetHack's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1K vs 4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Endless Nightmare holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NetHack has 1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 25% of NetHack's written reviews are positive against 100% of Endless Nightmare's.
