# Doodle Bowling vs Header!

The clearest difference is rating: Header! at 4.8 against Doodle Bowling's 4.3. Header! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). Doodle Bowling's advantage is ratings volume (331 vs 9). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Doodle Bowling sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Header! sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
