# VR vs VB3

The clearest difference is rating: VB3 at 3.5 against VR's 2.0. VB3 also leads on ratings volume (16 vs 4). VR's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price, review sentiment and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VB3 sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. VR asks for nothing beyond the download.

VB3 holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 16 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of VR's written reviews are positive against 50% of VB3's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
