# Smashy City vs Quantum Shift

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Smashy City at 85% against Quantum Shift's 35%. Smashy City also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (15K vs 586). Quantum Shift's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smashy City sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Quantum Shift sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Smashy City holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smashy City has 15K ratings behind it against 586, so its average is the more settled of the two.
