# Only One vs Tentacle Wars ™

The clearest difference is ads: Tentacle Wars ™ at none against Only One's shown. Tentacle Wars ™ also leads on iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). Only One's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Only One sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Tentacle Wars ™ sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Only One holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6.3K and 7.1K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Only One's written reviews are positive against 90% of Tentacle Wars ™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
