# PLAY Games vs Riot Mobile

The clearest difference is rating: Riot Mobile at 4.7 against PLAY Games's 2.8. Riot Mobile also leads on review sentiment (37% vs 0%) and in-app purchases (none vs 13). PLAY Games's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PLAY Games sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. Riot Mobile asks for nothing beyond the download.

Riot Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.8.
