# Air Wings® vs Breakneck

The clearest difference is ads: Air Wings® at none against Breakneck's shown. Air Wings® also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Breakneck's advantage is review sentiment (79% vs 70%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Air Wings® sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Breakneck sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
