# Remagotchi vs Earcade

The clearest difference is monetization model: Earcade at free against Remagotchi's free with in-app purchases. Earcade also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 81%). Remagotchi's advantage is ratings volume (67 vs 3) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Remagotchi sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Earcade sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Earcade holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remagotchi has 67 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
