# Fruit Hole vs Sand Loop

The clearest difference is rating: Fruit Hole at 4.7 against Sand Loop's 4.4. Fruit Hole also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Sand Loop's advantage is chart position (#44 vs unranked) and ratings volume (20K vs 2.6K). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fruit Hole sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Sand Loop sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Fruit Hole holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sand Loop has 20K ratings behind it against 2.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 21% of Fruit Hole's written reviews are positive against 17% of Sand Loop's.
