# Hungry Sloth vs System Lords

The clearest difference is rating: System Lords at 4.1 against Hungry Sloth's 3.3. System Lords also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (35 vs 6). Hungry Sloth's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (83% vs 57%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hungry Sloth sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and System Lords sells 25 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

System Lords holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: System Lords has 35 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Hungry Sloth's written reviews are positive against 57% of System Lords's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hungry Sloth ships an update every 3 months, System Lords every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
