# Nian vs Zoologic

The clearest difference is rating: Nian at 4.5 against Zoologic's 3.9. Nian also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 44%) and ads (none vs shown). Zoologic's advantage is ratings volume (176 vs 13) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nian sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Zoologic sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Nian holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zoologic has 176 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Nian's written reviews are positive against 44% of Zoologic's.
