# Animal Tower! vs Ark Runner

The clearest difference is ads: Ark Runner at none against Animal Tower!'s shown. Ark Runner also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Animal Tower!'s advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 50%) and ratings volume (141 vs 4). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Ark Runner holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Animal Tower! has 141 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Animal Tower!'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Ark Runner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
