# Codex vs Winter Words

Codex and Winter Words both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Codex's written reviews are positive against 67% of Winter Words's. Winter Words's advantage is ratings volume (33 vs 5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Codex sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Winter Words sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. 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 Codex against 4.5 for Winter Words. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Winter Words has 33 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Codex's written reviews are positive against 67% of Winter Words's.
