# Find the Difference! vs Differences

The clearest difference is ads: Find the Difference! at none against Differences's shown. Find the Difference! also leads on review sentiment (68% vs 50%) and device support (5 vs 3). Differences's advantage is ratings volume (600K vs 689) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Find the Difference! sells 8 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.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Find the Difference! against 4.6 for Differences. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Differences has 600K ratings behind it against 689, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 68% of Find the Difference!'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Differences's.

Find the Difference! ships an update every 2 months, Differences every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
