# Doodle God™ vs Nonogram Life

The clearest difference is price: Nonogram Life at Free against Doodle God™'s $0.99. Nonogram Life also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Doodle God™'s advantage is chart position (#9 vs unranked) and ratings volume (4K vs 598). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Nonogram Life is free to download; Doodle God™ costs $0.99 up front. Doodle God™ sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Nonogram Life sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Nonogram Life holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Doodle God™ has 4K ratings behind it against 598, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 76% and 76% positive.
