# Criminal Case vs June's Journey

June's Journey also leads on ratings volume (327K vs 36K) and chart position (#13 vs #150). Criminal Case's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 42%).

Both are free to download. Criminal Case sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and June's Journey sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
