# 2048+# vs Hold To Win

The clearest difference is rating: 2048+# at 4.7 against Hold To Win's 4.0. 2048+# also leads on ratings volume (2.6K vs 3). Hold To Win's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 2048+# sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Hold To Win asks for nothing beyond the download.

2048+# holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 2048+# has 2.6K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of 2048+#'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Hold To Win's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
