# Bullet Boy vs Nono Islands

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Nono Islands at 6.2K against Bullet Boy's 793. Bullet Boy's advantage is review sentiment (90% vs 80%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bullet Boy sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Nono Islands sells 3 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 — 4.7 for Bullet Boy against 4.7 for Nono Islands. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nono Islands has 6.2K ratings behind it against 793, so its average is the more settled of the two.
