# slither.io vs Among Us!

The clearest difference is ads: slither.io at none against Among Us!'s shown. slither.io also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Among Us!'s advantage is ratings volume (846K vs 3.3K) and rating (4.1 vs 3.8). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. slither.io sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Among Us! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Among Us! holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Among Us! has 846K ratings behind it against 3.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 55% of slither.io's written reviews are positive against 59% of Among Us!'s.

slither.io ships an update weekly, Among Us! monthly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
