# Chicks vs Cross Virus

The clearest difference is rating: Cross Virus at 4.3 against Chicks's 3.0. Cross Virus also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 62%) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). Chicks's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 26 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chicks sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Cross Virus asks for nothing beyond the download.

Cross Virus holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0.
