# Half vs Skate Life 3D

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Half at none against Skate Life 3D's 7. Half also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Skate Life 3D's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 106). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Skate Life 3D sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Half asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Half against 4.6 for Skate Life 3D. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Skate Life 3D has 1.2K ratings behind it against 106, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of Half's written reviews are positive against 64% of Skate Life 3D's.

Half ships an update weekly, Skate Life 3D monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
