# Samurai Flash vs Save the Masters

Samurai Flash and Save the Masters both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 73% of Samurai Flash's written reviews are positive against 33% of Save the Masters's. Samurai Flash also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (29K vs 1.4K). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Samurai Flash sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Save the Masters sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. 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 Samurai Flash against 4.6 for Save the Masters. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Samurai Flash has 29K ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
