# Make Action! PicoPicoMakerEX vs V

The clearest difference is ads: V at none against Make Action! PicoPicoMakerEX's shown. V also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 14.0). Make Action! PicoPicoMakerEX's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (251 vs 15). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Make Action! PicoPicoMakerEX holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Make Action! PicoPicoMakerEX has 251 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Make Action! PicoPicoMakerEX's written reviews are positive against 75% of V's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
