# Raft® Survival vs Stranded Hunt 2

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Stranded Hunt 2 at 100% against Raft® Survival's 27%. Stranded Hunt 2 also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Raft® Survival's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (38K vs 4). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Raft® Survival sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Stranded Hunt 2 asks for nothing beyond the download.

Raft® Survival holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Raft® Survival has 38K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Raft® Survival's written reviews are positive against 100% of Stranded Hunt 2'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, Stranded Hunt 2 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
