# Visual Pinball vs TubeSort

The clearest difference is rating: TubeSort at 5.0 against Visual Pinball's 4.3. TubeSort also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 78%) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.6). Visual Pinball's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (75 vs 3). On price, 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.

TubeSort holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Visual Pinball has 75 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Visual Pinball's written reviews are positive against 100% of TubeSort's.
