# Catan Classic vs Cocoa Stack

The clearest difference is price: Cocoa Stack at Free against Catan Classic's $4.99. Cocoa Stack also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and in-app purchases (none vs 5). Catan Classic's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 1) and chart position (#4 vs unranked). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Cocoa Stack is free to download; Catan Classic costs $4.99 up front. Catan Classic sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Cocoa Stack asks for nothing beyond the download.
