# Bitball Baseball vs StratManager

The clearest difference is rating: StratManager at 5.0 against Bitball Baseball's 3.4. Bitball Baseball's advantage is ratings volume (221 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bitball Baseball sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and StratManager sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

StratManager holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bitball Baseball has 221 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
