# X vs SoloRift

The clearest difference is ads: SoloRift at none against X's shown. SoloRift also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). X's advantage is chart position (#92 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. X sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and SoloRift sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

X ships an update fortnightly, SoloRift every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
