# Cruel World vs Arcade Fire

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Arcade Fire at 86% against Cruel World's 20%. Cruel World's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (929 vs 20). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Cruel World holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cruel World has 929 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Cruel World's written reviews are positive against 86% of Arcade Fire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
