# Jam Bus vs Crazy Sand

Jam Bus and Crazy Sand both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 45% of Crazy Sand's written reviews are positive against 15% of Jam Bus's. Crazy Sand also leads on chart position (#11 vs #35). Jam Bus's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (8.5K vs 536). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jam Bus sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Crazy Sand sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Jam Bus against 4.5 for Crazy Sand. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jam Bus has 8.5K ratings behind it against 536, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 15% of Jam Bus's written reviews are positive against 45% of Crazy Sand's.
