# Super16Bit vs Gamma

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Super16Bit at none against Gamma's 5. Super16Bit also leads on ads (none vs shown). Gamma's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 26) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gamma sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Super16Bit asks for nothing beyond the download.

Gamma holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gamma has 11K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Super16Bit's written reviews are positive against 84% of Gamma's.

Super16Bit ships an update fortnightly, Gamma every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
