# Mouse ! vs Differences

The clearest difference is ads: Mouse ! at none against Differences's shown. Mouse ! also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 50%) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 15.0). Differences's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (600K vs 100). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mouse ! sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Differences sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Differences holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Differences has 600K ratings behind it against 100, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Mouse !'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Differences's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mouse ! ships an update every 2 weeks, Differences every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
