# Beach Defender vs Space Alert

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Space Alert at 100% against Beach Defender's 43%. Space Alert also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Beach Defender's advantage is ratings volume (34 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Beach Defender sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Space Alert sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Space Alert holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beach Defender has 34 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 43% of Beach Defender's written reviews are positive against 100% of Space Alert's.
