# Angry Birds 2 vs Rush

Angry Birds 2 and Rush both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 73% of Rush's written reviews are positive against 48% of Angry Birds 2's. Angry Birds 2's advantage is ratings volume (1.6M vs 52K) and chart position (#13 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Angry Birds 2 sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Rush sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Angry Birds 2 against 4.6 for Rush. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Angry Birds 2 has 1.6M ratings behind it against 52K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 48% of Angry Birds 2's written reviews are positive against 73% of Rush's.
