# Card Crawl vs Pagoda Plus

The clearest difference is ads: Card Crawl at none against Pagoda Plus's shown. Card Crawl also leads on ratings volume (2.1K vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). Pagoda Plus's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Card Crawl sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Pagoda Plus sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pagoda Plus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Card Crawl has 2.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
