# Sandbox XL vs SingleEvo

The clearest difference is rating: SingleEvo at 5.0 against Sandbox XL's 3.7. SingleEvo also leads on ads (none vs shown). Sandbox XL's advantage is ratings volume (53 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

SingleEvo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sandbox XL has 53 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
