# Impossible Draw vs Shadow Trick

The clearest difference is ads: Shadow Trick at none against Impossible Draw's shown. Impossible Draw's advantage is ratings volume (815 vs 32) and review sentiment (82% vs 70%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Impossible Draw sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Shadow Trick sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.1 for Impossible Draw against 4.0 for Shadow Trick. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Impossible Draw has 815 ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 82% of Impossible Draw's written reviews are positive against 70% of Shadow Trick's.
