# 99 Rockets vs Pathi

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pathi at 71% against 99 Rockets's 30%. Pathi also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 12) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). 99 Rockets's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 99 Rockets sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Pathi sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pathi holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pathi has 1.2K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 30% of 99 Rockets's written reviews are positive against 71% of Pathi's.
