# Buffering vs Pixel Drop

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Buffering at none against Pixel Drop's 9. Buffering also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Pixel Drop's advantage is ratings volume (182 vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pixel Drop sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Buffering asks for nothing beyond the download.

Buffering holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pixel Drop has 182 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
