# Hop vs Dunk Hit

Hop and Dunk Hit both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 85% of Hop's written reviews are positive against 57% of Dunk Hit's. Dunk Hit's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (158K vs 30K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hop sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Dunk Hit sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Hop against 4.6 for Dunk Hit. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dunk Hit has 158K ratings behind it against 30K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 85% of Hop's written reviews are positive against 57% of Dunk Hit's.
