# XBOX vs Cronus

The clearest difference is ratings volume: XBOX at 1.8M against Cronus's 2. XBOX also leads on chart position (#55 vs unranked). Cronus's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Cronus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: XBOX has 1.8M ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
