# Dunk Line vs Monopong

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Monopong at 91% against Dunk Line's 45%. Monopong also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and ads (none vs shown). Dunk Line's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 32) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

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

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dunk Line has 1.4K ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two.
