# SCP Runner vs Pixel Backrooms

The clearest difference is ads: Pixel Backrooms at none against SCP Runner's shown. Pixel Backrooms also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). SCP Runner's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SCP Runner sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Pixel Backrooms sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pixel Backrooms holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 2 respectively. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
