# East Tower vs Visual Novel

The clearest difference is rating: Visual Novel at 4.8 against East Tower's 3.0. Visual Novel also leads on ratings volume (86 vs 2) and review sentiment (90% vs 73%). East Tower's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Visual Novel sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. East Tower asks for nothing beyond the download.

Visual Novel holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Visual Novel has 86 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of East Tower's written reviews are positive against 90% of Visual Novel's.
