# Candy Blast Mania vs Splash

The clearest difference is ads: Splash at none against Candy Blast Mania's shown. Splash also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.1) and review sentiment (73% vs 63%). Candy Blast Mania's advantage is ratings volume (6.6K vs 1.8K). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Candy Blast Mania sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Splash sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Splash holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6.6K and 1.8K respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of Candy Blast Mania's written reviews are positive against 73% of Splash's.
