# SARCOPH vs Raft® Survival

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SARCOPH at 81% against Raft® Survival's 27%. SARCOPH also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). Raft® Survival's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and chart position (#133 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Raft® Survival sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. SARCOPH asks for nothing beyond the download.

Raft® Survival holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Raft® Survival has 38K ratings behind it against 6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of SARCOPH's written reviews are positive against 27% of Raft® Survival's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SARCOPH ships an update every 3 weeks, Raft® Survival every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
