# Tidecaller vs The Dark Path

The clearest difference is ads: Tidecaller at none against The Dark Path's shown. Tidecaller also leads on ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tidecaller sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and The Dark Path sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Tidecaller against 5.0 for The Dark Path. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tidecaller has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
