# Bomber Friends! vs BoxLine

The clearest difference is review sentiment: BoxLine at 100% against Bomber Friends!'s 52%. BoxLine also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and ads (none vs shown). Bomber Friends!'s advantage is ratings volume (3.6K vs 3). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bomber Friends! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and BoxLine sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BoxLine holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4.
