# Akinator vs My PlayHome Plus

The clearest difference is rating: Akinator at 4.6 against My PlayHome Plus's 4.0. Akinator also leads on ratings volume (426K vs 10K) and chart position (#97 vs unranked). My PlayHome Plus's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Akinator sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and My PlayHome Plus sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Akinator holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Akinator has 426K ratings behind it against 10K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
