# Castle Builder vs Rainbow Princess Hair Salon

The clearest difference is ads: Castle Builder at none against Rainbow Princess Hair Salon's shown. Castle Builder also leads on review sentiment (38% vs 7%) and iOS requirement (3.1.3 vs 12.0). Rainbow Princess Hair Salon's advantage is rating (3.9 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (253 vs 79). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Castle Builder sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Rainbow Princess Hair Salon sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rainbow Princess Hair Salon holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 79 and 253 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Castle Builder's written reviews are positive against 7% of Rainbow Princess Hair Salon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
