# Shoot The Moon vs Oil Hunt

The clearest difference is rating: Shoot The Moon at 4.7 against Oil Hunt's 3.9. Shoot The Moon also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 50%) and ratings volume (5.3K vs 380). Oil Hunt's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shoot The Moon sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Oil Hunt sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
