# Mind The Door vs Noddle

The clearest difference is ads: Noddle at none against Mind The Door's shown. Noddle also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and review sentiment (100% vs 74%). Mind The Door's advantage is ratings volume (370 vs 13) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mind The Door sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Noddle sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Noddle holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mind The Door has 370 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of Mind The Door's written reviews are positive against 100% of Noddle's.
