# Stickman Swing vs Light

The clearest difference is rating: Light at 4.7 against Stickman Swing's 3.7. Light also leads on ratings volume (194K vs 25) and review sentiment (75% vs 52%). Stickman Swing's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 17) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Light sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Stickman Swing asks for nothing beyond the download.

Light holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7.
