# First Player vs Go First!

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Go First! at none against First Player's 1. Go First! also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 76%). First Player's advantage is ratings volume (212 vs 3) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. First Player sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Go First! asks for nothing beyond the download.

Go First! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: First Player has 212 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of First Player's written reviews are positive against 100% of Go First!'s.
