# Slender Mania vs Silent Maze

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Slender Mania at none against Silent Maze's 9. Slender Mania also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.1 vs 3.7). Silent Maze's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (29 vs 9). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Silent Maze sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Slender Mania asks for nothing beyond the download.

Slender Mania holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 29 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Slender Mania's written reviews are positive against 23% of Silent Maze's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
