# Chrono Game vs Screw Out

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Chrono Game at 100% against Screw Out's 15%. Chrono Game also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). Screw Out's advantage is ratings volume (95K vs 7). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
