# iBaloot vs Baloot Royale

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Baloot Royale at 90% against iBaloot's 35%. Baloot Royale also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.3) and ratings volume (1K vs 19). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iBaloot sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 3 months and Baloot Royale sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
