# Raft® Survival vs Asylum 77

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Asylum 77 at 63% against Raft® Survival's 27%. Asylum 77 also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 19) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). Raft® Survival's advantage is ratings volume (38K vs 373) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Raft® Survival sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Asylum 77 asks for nothing beyond the download.

Raft® Survival holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Raft® Survival has 38K ratings behind it against 373, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Raft® Survival's written reviews are positive against 63% of Asylum 77's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Raft® Survival ships an update every 2 months, Asylum 77 every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
