# Slash Royal vs Level Up Runner

The clearest difference is rating: Level Up Runner at 4.6 against Slash Royal's 4.1. Level Up Runner also leads on ratings volume (33K vs 671). Slash Royal's advantage is review sentiment (51% vs 42%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Slash Royal sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Level Up Runner sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Level Up Runner holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Level Up Runner has 33K ratings behind it against 671, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Slash Royal's written reviews are positive against 42% of Level Up Runner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Slash Royal ships an update monthly, Level Up Runner every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
