# Popcorn Legend vs DDDigger

The clearest difference is ads: Popcorn Legend at none against DDDigger's shown. DDDigger's advantage is review sentiment (44% vs 18%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Popcorn Legend sells 37 one-off in-app purchases and DDDigger sells 28 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
