# Happy Fish + vs AquaLife 3D

The clearest difference is rating: Happy Fish + at 4.5 against AquaLife 3D's 3.9. Happy Fish + also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 46) and review sentiment (68% vs 58%). AquaLife 3D's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Happy Fish + sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and AquaLife 3D sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Happy Fish + holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Happy Fish + has 1K ratings behind it against 46, so its average is the more settled of the two.
