# Touchgrind BMX vs Summer Wheelie

The clearest difference is rating: Summer Wheelie at 4.7 against Touchgrind BMX's 3.8. Summer Wheelie also leads on ratings volume (47K vs 693) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 6 months). Touchgrind BMX's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#176 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Touchgrind BMX sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Summer Wheelie sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
