# Rad Trails! vs Hand Guillotine

Rad Trails! and Hand Guillotine both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 34% of Rad Trails!'s written reviews are positive against 18% of Hand Guillotine's. Hand Guillotine's advantage is ratings volume (4.8K vs 629) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
