# Word Association! vs Pocket Alibi

The clearest difference is ads: Pocket Alibi at none against Word Association!'s shown. Pocket Alibi also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). Word Association!'s advantage is ratings volume (8.2K vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Word Association! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Pocket Alibi sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pocket Alibi holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Word Association! has 8.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 90% of Word Association!'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Pocket Alibi's.
