# Slashrun vs Swordash

The clearest difference is ads: Slashrun at none against Swordash's shown. Slashrun also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 11 days) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Swordash's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 82). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Slashrun sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Swordash sells 24 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Swordash holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Swordash has 1.1K ratings behind it against 82, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 55% of Slashrun's written reviews are positive against 61% of Swordash's.
