# Hedgehog Gardens vs GemCode

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GemCode at none against Hedgehog Gardens's 4. GemCode also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%). Hedgehog Gardens's advantage is ratings volume (77 vs 2) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hedgehog Gardens sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. GemCode asks for nothing beyond the download.

Hedgehog Gardens holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hedgehog Gardens has 77 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Hedgehog Gardens's written reviews are positive against 100% of GemCode's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
