# Visual Pinball vs Quartix

Visual Pinball's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (74 vs 2). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quartix sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Visual Pinball asks for nothing beyond the download.

Quartix holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3.
