# Pixel Goldfish vs Boltage

The clearest difference is rating: Boltage at 4.5 against Pixel Goldfish's 2.0. Boltage also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 33%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pixel Goldfish sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Boltage sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Boltage holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boltage has 23 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
