# Gumslinger vs PuffGo

The clearest difference is ads: PuffGo at none against Gumslinger's shown. PuffGo also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 76%). Gumslinger's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 17). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gumslinger sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and PuffGo sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Gumslinger against 4.8 for PuffGo. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gumslinger has 15K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two.
