# Verdant vs Tariff Tycoon

The clearest difference is monetization model: Verdant at free against Tariff Tycoon's free with in-app purchases. Verdant also leads on ratings volume (380 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Verdant sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Tariff Tycoon sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tariff Tycoon holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Verdant has 380 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
