# Guess 'em vs Osmo Numbers Classic

The clearest difference is rating: Guess 'em at 4.8 against Osmo Numbers Classic's 4.0. Osmo Numbers Classic's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 31 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Guess 'em sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Osmo Numbers Classic asks for nothing beyond the download.

Guess 'em holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Osmo Numbers Classic has 264 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Guess 'em's written reviews are positive against 55% of Osmo Numbers Classic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
