# Amazing Runner vs Desert Fishman 3D

The clearest difference is rating: Amazing Runner at 4.3 against Desert Fishman 3D's 3.7. Amazing Runner also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (202 vs 3). Desert Fishman 3D's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and review sentiment (100% vs 70%). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Amazing Runner sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Desert Fishman 3D asks for nothing beyond the download.

Amazing Runner holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Amazing Runner has 202 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Amazing Runner's written reviews are positive against 100% of Desert Fishman 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Amazing Runner ships an update every 2 months, Desert Fishman 3D every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
