# Singularity vs Lab Tycoon

The clearest difference is rating: Lab Tycoon at 4.5 against Singularity's 4.0. Lab Tycoon also leads on ratings volume (6 vs 1). Singularity's advantage is iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Singularity sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Lab Tycoon sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lab Tycoon holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lab Tycoon has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
