# Clay Jam vs Go Ape Ship!

The clearest difference is rating: Clay Jam at 4.8 against Go Ape Ship!'s 4.0. Clay Jam also leads on review sentiment (94% vs 54%) and ratings volume (2.5K vs 130). Go Ape Ship!'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clay Jam sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Go Ape Ship! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Clay Jam holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clay Jam has 2.5K ratings behind it against 130, so its average is the more settled of the two.
