# Cut the Rope vs iSlash DOJO

Cut the Rope also leads on review sentiment (59% vs 33%) and ratings volume (13K vs 315). iSlash DOJO's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months).

Both are free to download. Cut the Rope sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and iSlash DOJO sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
