# Cookie Jam vs Rule Shift

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Rule Shift at 100% against Cookie Jam's 63%. Rule Shift also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Cookie Jam's advantage is ratings volume (497K vs 2) and chart position (#103 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cookie Jam sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Rule Shift sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rule Shift holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cookie Jam has 497K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of Cookie Jam's written reviews are positive against 100% of Rule Shift's.
