# Marble Stars vs Bead Loop

The clearest difference is rating: Bead Loop at 4.7 against Marble Stars's 2.2. Bead Loop also leads on ratings volume (210 vs 6) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Marble Stars's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Marble Stars sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and Bead Loop sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bead Loop holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bead Loop has 210 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 0% and 0% positive.
