The monetization aspect of the game is primarily centered around a one-time purchase option to remove ads, which many users find worthwhile for an uninterrupted gaming experience. While the free version includes some ads, they are generally considered less intrusive compared to similar games, and the premium version offers a clean, ad-free interface with additional features like statistics.
