Free vs Pro naming?

On the psychology of purchasing, and ads, I'm trying to find out how best to name the two versions of my app. I have a free version, with ads, and a $0.99 version without ads.

I started with "My Game - Free" and "My Game", but .... I kind of like the idea of the "free" version looking more attractive, since it offers residual income through ads. I just don't want it to seem "less valuable" being named free.

Alternatively, naming the $0.99 version "My Game - Pro" doesn't quite fit, because there really isn't anything "pro" about it. It's a simple little shooter game.

Any suggestions?

    Why not just do a free version and use an IAP to kill the ads if that's what the user wants. I think apple is more and more leaning away from people submitting double apps like this anyways.

    ... this seems like it "should" have been obvious earlier, lol. Thanks. Still learning, so now, it's off to the books to get IAP down.

    Got up to speed with IAP, and just submitted my app to Apple! This will be my third app, but first with iA Hopefully one of these will catch on.
