# Apollo Intense! Too vs SandBox

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Apollo Intense! Too at 80% against SandBox's 37%. Apollo Intense! Too also leads on iOS requirement (12 vs 15.0). SandBox's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (46K vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

SandBox holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SandBox has 46K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Apollo Intense! Too's written reviews are positive against 37% of SandBox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
