# Custom Rocket vs Rocket Sky!

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Custom Rocket at 92% against Rocket Sky!'s 17%. Custom Rocket also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ads (none vs shown). Rocket Sky!'s advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (109K vs 3). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rocket Sky! sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per 7 days. Custom Rocket asks for nothing beyond the download.

Rocket Sky! holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rocket Sky! has 109K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Custom Rocket's written reviews are positive against 17% of Rocket Sky!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
