# Skatrix vs Skater Mobile

The clearest difference is rating: Skater Mobile at 4.8 against Skatrix's 4.1. Skater Mobile also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). Skatrix's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Skatrix sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Skater Mobile sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Skater Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Skater Mobile has 464 ratings behind it against 45, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Skatrix's written reviews are positive against 88% of Skater Mobile's.
