# Linking Boy vs Rebit Play

The clearest difference is rating: Rebit Play at 5.0 against Linking Boy's 4.3. Linking Boy's advantage is ratings volume (44 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Linking Boy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Rebit Play sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
