# Stranded Hunt vs Merge Idle Gun

The clearest difference is rating: Merge Idle Gun at 4.5 against Stranded Hunt's 3.0. Merge Idle Gun also leads on ratings volume (3.1K vs 2). Stranded Hunt's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 33%) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Merge Idle Gun holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Merge Idle Gun has 3.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Stranded Hunt's written reviews are positive against 33% of Merge Idle Gun's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
