# The Sun vs Humans Gone

The clearest difference is price: Humans Gone at Free against The Sun's $0.39. The Sun's advantage is review sentiment (68% vs 42%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Humans Gone is free to download; The Sun costs $0.39 up front. The Sun sells 17 one-off in-app purchases and Humans Gone sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for The Sun against 4.3 for Humans Gone. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Sun has 348 ratings behind it against 41, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 68% of The Sun's written reviews are positive against 42% of Humans Gone's.

The Sun ships an update every 2 weeks, Humans Gone every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
