# Nanashi vs Light Vs Dark

The clearest difference is rating: Light Vs Dark at 5.0 against Nanashi's 4.3. Nanashi's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nanashi sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Light Vs Dark sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Light Vs Dark holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nanashi has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
