# The Pinball Wizard vs TimeStamp!

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TimeStamp! at none against The Pinball Wizard's 4. TimeStamp! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 66%). The Pinball Wizard's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Pinball Wizard sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. TimeStamp! asks for nothing beyond the download.

TimeStamp! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7.
