# Sky Force vs Color Bots

The clearest difference is ads: Color Bots at none against Sky Force's shown. Color Bots also leads on iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). Sky Force's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 176). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sky Force sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Color Bots sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sky Force holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sky Force has 2.1K ratings behind it against 176, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 89% of Sky Force's written reviews are positive against 79% of Color Bots's.
