# Blade Forge 3D vs Mobile Run

Blade Forge 3D and Mobile Run both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of Mobile Run's written reviews are positive against 11% of Blade Forge 3D's. Blade Forge 3D's advantage is ratings volume (66K vs 835) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blade Forge 3D sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Mobile Run sells 2 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: Blade Forge 3D has 66K ratings behind it against 835, so its average is the more settled of the two.
