# Sling Away vs Overcrowded

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sling Away at 100% against Overcrowded's 64%. Sling Away also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks). Overcrowded's advantage is ratings volume (18K vs 6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sling Away sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Overcrowded sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sling Away holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Overcrowded has 18K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Sling Away's written reviews are positive against 64% of Overcrowded's.

Sling Away ships an update every 9 days, Overcrowded every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
