# Vortex Madness vs Shape Rush

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vortex Madness at none against Shape Rush's 1. Vortex Madness also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 89%). Shape Rush's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.4). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shape Rush sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Vortex Madness asks for nothing beyond the download.

Shape Rush holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14 and 16 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Vortex Madness's written reviews are positive against 89% of Shape Rush's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
