# Sling Drift vs Hyper Drift!

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Sling Drift at 287K against Hyper Drift!'s 3.2K. Sling Drift also leads on chart position (#102 vs unranked). Hyper Drift!'s advantage is review sentiment (68% vs 47%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sling Drift sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Hyper Drift! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Sling Drift against 4.4 for Hyper Drift!. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sling Drift has 287K ratings behind it against 3.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 47% of Sling Drift's written reviews are positive against 68% of Hyper Drift!'s.

Sling Drift ships an update every 5 months, Hyper Drift! every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
