# Hitman vs Sifu

The clearest difference is rating: Hitman at 4.9 against Sifu's 3.7. Hitman also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 47%) and ratings volume (819 vs 117). Sifu's advantage is price ($7.99 vs $14.99) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Hitman costs $14.99 and Sifu $7.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Hitman holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hitman has 819 ratings behind it against 117, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 87% of Hitman's written reviews are positive against 47% of Sifu's.
