# Lex vs Wickbound

The clearest difference is rating: Lex at 5.0 against Wickbound's 4.0. Lex also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs paid) and device support (3 vs 1). Wickbound's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lex sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Wickbound sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lex holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 2 respectively. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
