# POOLS™ vs SUPERSTAR LDH

The clearest difference is review sentiment: POOLS™ at 79% against SUPERSTAR LDH's 37%. POOLS™ also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 10). SUPERSTAR LDH's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. POOLS™ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and SUPERSTAR LDH sells 28 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

POOLS™ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: POOLS™ has 1.6K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two.
