# Slaughter vs The Sun

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Slaughter at none against The Sun's 18. Slaughter also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 68%). The Sun's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (344 vs 47). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Slaughter costs $0.39 and The Sun $0.39 up front. The Sun sells 17 one-off in-app purchases. Slaughter asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Slaughter against 4.4 for The Sun.
