# La pétanque vs Shuffleboard Master

The clearest difference is ads: Shuffleboard Master at none against La pétanque's shown. Shuffleboard Master also leads on ratings volume (2.5K vs 12) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). La pétanque's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 11 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. La pétanque sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Shuffleboard Master sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Shuffleboard Master holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shuffleboard Master has 2.5K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two.
