# (R)evolve vs Risky Road

The clearest difference is rating: Risky Road at 4.3 against (R)evolve's 3.5. Risky Road also leads on review sentiment (59% vs 33%) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 61). (R)evolve's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. (R)evolve sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Risky Road sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Risky Road holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Risky Road has 2.3K ratings behind it against 61, so its average is the more settled of the two.
