# Sonic Dash Run vs Level Maker

The clearest difference is rating: Sonic Dash Run at 4.7 against Level Maker's 3.6. Sonic Dash Run also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 54%) and ratings volume (418K vs 90). Level Maker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sonic Dash Run sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Level Maker sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sonic Dash Run holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sonic Dash Run has 418K ratings behind it against 90, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of Sonic Dash Run's written reviews are positive against 54% of Level Maker's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
