# Space Waves vs #1 Tap Game

Space Waves and #1 Tap Game both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of #1 Tap Game's written reviews are positive against 62% of Space Waves's. #1 Tap Game also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Space Waves's advantage is ratings volume (66K vs 2) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Space Waves sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and #1 Tap Game sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Space Waves holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Space Waves has 66K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Space Waves's written reviews are positive against 100% of #1 Tap Game's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
