# Pocket Frogs vs (mobile) Chicken Maker

The clearest difference is rating: Pocket Frogs at 4.4 against (mobile) Chicken Maker's 2.3. Pocket Frogs also leads on ratings volume (3.1K vs 3) and chart position (#85 vs unranked). (mobile) Chicken Maker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pocket Frogs sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and (mobile) Chicken Maker sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
