# Platform Panic vs DWARF®

The clearest difference is rating: DWARF® at 5.0 against Platform Panic's 4.5. DWARF® also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Platform Panic's advantage is ratings volume (124 vs 2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Platform Panic sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and DWARF® sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DWARF® holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Platform Panic has 124 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
