# Sling Drift vs Double drift

The clearest difference is update cadence: Double drift at fortnightly against Sling Drift's every 5 months. Double drift also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Sling Drift's advantage is chart position (#61 vs unranked) and ratings volume (287K vs 53K). On price, review sentiment, 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 Double drift sells 17 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Double drift holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sling Drift has 287K ratings behind it against 53K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 47% of Sling Drift's written reviews are positive against 49% of Double drift's.

Sling Drift ships an update every 5 months, Double drift fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
