# Blast Baseball vs SlowMo

The clearest difference is rating: SlowMo at 4.6 against Blast Baseball's 3.1. SlowMo also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (60% vs 29%). Blast Baseball's advantage is chart position (#78 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blast Baseball sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and SlowMo sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SlowMo holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.1.
