# Fish vs Joy Land!

Fish and Joy Land! both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of Joy Land!'s written reviews are positive against 31% of Fish's. Joy Land! also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Fish's advantage is ratings volume (830 vs 159). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fish sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Joy Land! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Fish against 4.8 for Joy Land!. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fish has 830 ratings behind it against 159, so its average is the more settled of the two.
