# Kitty Pops vs POOLS™

The clearest difference is ratings volume: POOLS™ at 1.6K against Kitty Pops's 30. Kitty Pops's advantage is review sentiment (90% vs 79%) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kitty Pops sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and POOLS™ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Kitty Pops against 4.5 for POOLS™. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: POOLS™ has 1.6K ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 90% of Kitty Pops's written reviews are positive against 79% of POOLS™'s.
