Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Monster Physics® costs $1.99 and Inventioneers Full Version $5.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Inventioneers Full Version holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 88 and 117 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Monster Physics®'s written reviews are positive against 79% of Inventioneers Full Version's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
