# LEGO® Batman™ vs Iron Prototype

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Iron Prototype at 71% against LEGO® Batman™'s 25%. Iron Prototype also leads on price (Free vs $4.99) and rating (3.9 vs 3.2). LEGO® Batman™'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.2K vs 21). On update cadence, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Iron Prototype is free to download; LEGO® Batman™ costs $4.99 up front. LEGO® Batman™ sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Iron Prototype sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LEGO® Batman™ has 2.2K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two.
