# Slingshot Cowboy vs Royal Revolt!

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Royal Revolt! at 92% against Slingshot Cowboy's 52%. Royal Revolt! also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 1) and iOS requirement (5.0 vs 15.0). Slingshot Cowboy's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Slingshot Cowboy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Royal Revolt! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Slingshot Cowboy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Royal Revolt! has 1.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Slingshot Cowboy's written reviews are positive against 92% of Royal Revolt!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
