# TOP WEAPON vs HoppAR

The clearest difference is rating: HoppAR at 4.8 against TOP WEAPON's 3.9. HoppAR also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 45%) and ads (none vs shown). TOP WEAPON's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TOP WEAPON sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and HoppAR sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HoppAR holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HoppAR has 579 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 45% of TOP WEAPON's written reviews are positive against 85% of HoppAR's.
