# SAPPER vs HexSweep

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HexSweep at none against SAPPER's 2. HexSweep also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). SAPPER's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SAPPER sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. HexSweep asks for nothing beyond the download.
