# Ice Comic vs Inkveil

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Ice Comic at 35 against Inkveil's 3. Inkveil's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 89%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ice Comic sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Inkveil sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Ice Comic against 5.0 for Inkveil. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ice Comic has 35 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 89% of Ice Comic's written reviews are positive against 100% of Inkveil's.
