# touch grass vs brrrrr

The clearest difference is review sentiment: touch grass at 76% against brrrrr's 0%. touch grass also leads on price (Free vs $7.99) and ratings volume (3K vs 1). brrrrr's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 17) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On ads there is nothing between them.

touch grass is free to download; brrrrr costs $7.99 up front. touch grass sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. brrrrr asks for nothing beyond the download.

brrrrr holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7.

Written reviews complicate that: 76% of touch grass's written reviews are positive against 0% of brrrrr's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
