# iRollerCoaster vs Partywheel

The clearest difference is rating: Partywheel at 3.2 against iRollerCoaster's 2.7. Partywheel also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 17%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 25 months). iRollerCoaster's advantage is ratings volume (92 vs 5) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 27.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
