# Happy Wheels vs LV

The clearest difference is rating: LV at 5.0 against Happy Wheels's 4.4. LV also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Happy Wheels's advantage is ratings volume (41K vs 5) and chart position (#12 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Happy Wheels sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. LV asks for nothing beyond the download.

LV holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Happy Wheels has 41K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of Happy Wheels's written reviews are positive against 86% of LV's.

Happy Wheels ships an update every 4 months, LV every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
