# HeliHopper vs Magic Bridge!

HeliHopper and Magic Bridge! both sit at 4.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 73% of Magic Bridge!'s written reviews are positive against 16% of HeliHopper's. HeliHopper's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 11 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HeliHopper has 651 ratings behind it against 107, so its average is the more settled of the two.
