# Manipulator! vs Endless Wander

The clearest difference is ads: Manipulator! at none against Endless Wander's shown. Manipulator! also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 78%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Endless Wander's advantage is ratings volume (3.5K vs 7). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Manipulator! sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Endless Wander sells 29 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Manipulator! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Endless Wander has 3.5K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Manipulator!'s written reviews are positive against 78% of Endless Wander's.
