# iScape vs Pollinator Patch

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pollinator Patch at 100% against iScape's 24%. Pollinator Patch also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). iScape's advantage is ratings volume (29K vs 8) and chart position (#76 vs unranked).

Both are free to download. iScape sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Pollinator Patch sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
