# AlienSwarms vs Steam Database

The clearest difference is rating: AlienSwarms at 5.0 against Steam Database's 4.0. AlienSwarms also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Steam Database's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AlienSwarms sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Steam Database sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AlienSwarms holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Steam Database has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
