# ترَبَّع vs Codenames

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ترَبَّع at 87% against Codenames's 16%. ترَبَّع also leads on rating (4.7 vs 1.3) and ratings volume (481 vs 26). Codenames's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ترَبَّع sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Codenames sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
