# CrossAbout vs next 2

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: next 2 at none against CrossAbout's 3. CrossAbout's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CrossAbout sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. next 2 asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for CrossAbout against 5.0 for next 2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CrossAbout has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
