# Twist Hit! vs Gridlock

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Twist Hit! at 54K against Gridlock's 1. Twist Hit! also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Gridlock's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
