# Sling Drift vs AstroRaiders

The clearest difference is ads: AstroRaiders at none against Sling Drift's shown. AstroRaiders also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Sling Drift's advantage is ratings volume (287K vs 1) and chart position (#104 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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 AstroRaiders sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AstroRaiders holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sling Drift has 287K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
