# Stick Nodes vs Dynamite Train

The clearest difference is rating: Dynamite Train at 5.0 against Stick Nodes's 4.6. Dynamite Train also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 14.0). Stick Nodes's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 4) and review sentiment (84% vs 67%). On price, ads, 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.

Dynamite Train holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stick Nodes has 15K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Stick Nodes's written reviews are positive against 67% of Dynamite Train's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
