# Costume Quest vs Grumpy Goats

The clearest difference is rating: Grumpy Goats at 5.0 against Costume Quest's 4.0. Costume Quest's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (449 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Costume Quest sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Grumpy Goats sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
