# Red Ball 2P vs PENG!uin

The clearest difference is rating: PENG!uin at 5.0 against Red Ball 2P's 3.4. PENG!uin also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 38%). Red Ball 2P's advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Red Ball 2P sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and PENG!uin sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PENG!uin holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Red Ball 2P has 1.9K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
