# The Average game vs Borderland Arena

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Borderland Arena at none against The Average game's 1. Borderland Arena also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 67%) and ratings volume (22 vs 6). The Average game's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Average game sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Borderland Arena asks for nothing beyond the download.

The Average game holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 22 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of The Average game's written reviews are positive against 78% of Borderland Arena's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
