# Ragdolls Sandbox vs RobotMania

Ragdolls Sandbox and RobotMania both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 84% of RobotMania's written reviews are positive against 60% of Ragdolls Sandbox's. RobotMania also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). Ragdolls Sandbox's advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 768). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ragdolls Sandbox sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and RobotMania sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Ragdolls Sandbox against 4.7 for RobotMania. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ragdolls Sandbox has 10K ratings behind it against 768, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Ragdolls Sandbox's written reviews are positive against 84% of RobotMania's.
