# Phase 10 Scoreboard vs Ace Busters

The clearest difference is rating: Ace Busters at 5.0 against Phase 10 Scoreboard's 3.9. Ace Busters also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). Phase 10 Scoreboard's advantage is ratings volume (91 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Phase 10 Scoreboard sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month and Ace Busters sells 17 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
