# Rock Slide vs Black Hole

The clearest difference is ads: Black Hole at none against Rock Slide's shown. Black Hole also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Rock Slide's advantage is ratings volume (70 vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rock Slide sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Black Hole sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Black Hole holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rock Slide has 70 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Rock Slide ships an update monthly, Black Hole every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
