# Scroodles vs Xpanagram

Scroodles and Xpanagram both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of Xpanagram's written reviews are positive against 73% of Scroodles's. Scroodles's advantage is ratings volume (173 vs 10). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scroodles sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Xpanagram sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Xpanagram holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scroodles has 173 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of Scroodles's written reviews are positive against 89% of Xpanagram's.
