# Harvest Loop 3D vs Gold Rush

Harvest Loop 3D and Gold Rush both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Gold Rush's written reviews are positive against 32% of Harvest Loop 3D's. Gold Rush also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). Harvest Loop 3D's advantage is ratings volume (262 vs 41) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Harvest Loop 3D sells 20 one-off in-app purchases and Gold Rush sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Harvest Loop 3D against 4.8 for Gold Rush. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Harvest Loop 3D has 262 ratings behind it against 41, so its average is the more settled of the two.
