# Blackbox vs Musea

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Musea at none against Blackbox's 10. Musea also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Blackbox's advantage is ratings volume (109K vs 1) and chart position (#32 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blackbox sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Musea asks for nothing beyond the download.

Musea holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blackbox has 109K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
