# Archero 2 vs Star Animals

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Star Animals at 100% against Archero 2's 54%. Star Animals also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Archero 2's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (23K vs 6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Archero 2 sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Star Animals sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Star Animals holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Archero 2 has 23K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of Archero 2's written reviews are positive against 100% of Star Animals's.
