# Falling Filter vs Hand Control

The clearest difference is rating: Falling Filter at 4.0 against Hand Control's 2.7. Hand Control's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Falling Filter sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Hand Control sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Falling Filter holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 34 and 37 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Falling Filter's written reviews are positive against 7% of Hand Control's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
