# Runner vs Prison Puzzle

Runner and Prison Puzzle both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 94% of Runner's written reviews are positive against 23% of Prison Puzzle's. Runner also leads on ads (none vs shown). Prison Puzzle's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Runner sells 42 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Prison Puzzle sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Runner against 4.7 for Prison Puzzle. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 579 and 570 respectively. Written reviews are what separate them: 94% of Runner's written reviews are positive against 23% of Prison Puzzle's.
