# iRollerCoaster vs Hyper Roller Coaster

Hyper Roller Coaster also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 25 months) and ratings volume (16K vs 92). iRollerCoaster's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
