# Pixel Dash! vs Slashy Knight

The clearest difference is rating: Slashy Knight at 4.5 against Pixel Dash!'s 2.5. Slashy Knight also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 6). Pixel Dash!'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pixel Dash! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Slashy Knight sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Slashy Knight holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Slashy Knight has 1.3K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 59% and 60% positive.
