# Sugar Rush vs Queen Royale

The clearest difference is rating: Queen Royale at 4.9 against Sugar Rush's 4.4. Queen Royale also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks) and review sentiment (95% vs 69%). Sugar Rush's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sugar Rush sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Queen Royale sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
