# Biotix vs Polluted Area

Biotix's advantage is ratings volume (467 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Biotix sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Polluted Area sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
