# Ghost Radar® vs Ghost SLS

The clearest difference is rating: Ghost SLS at 4.4 against Ghost Radar®'s 3.7. Ghost SLS also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ratings volume (3.6K vs 655). Ghost Radar®'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (60% vs 37%). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ghost Radar® sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Ghost SLS asks for nothing beyond the download.

Ghost SLS holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ghost SLS has 3.6K ratings behind it against 655, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Ghost Radar®'s written reviews are positive against 37% of Ghost SLS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Ghost Radar® ships an update every 3 months, Ghost SLS every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
