# SEQ vs Sand Factory

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SEQ at 94% against Sand Factory's 0%. SEQ also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.0) and ads (none vs shown). Sand Factory's advantage is price (Free vs $1.99) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Sand Factory is free to download; SEQ costs $1.99 up front. SEQ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Sand Factory sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
