# Off the Rails 3D vs Snake Bus

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Snake Bus at 100% against Off the Rails 3D's 14%. Snake Bus also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Off the Rails 3D's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 31 months) and ratings volume (42K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
