# Break the cable vs Twisty Rails

The clearest difference is ads: Break the cable at none against Twisty Rails's shown. Break the cable also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 days) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Twisty Rails's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (16K vs 109). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Break the cable sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Twisty Rails sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Twisty Rails has 16K ratings behind it against 109, so its average is the more settled of the two.
