# Sewer Rat vs Mobile Run

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sewer Rat at none against Mobile Run's 2. Sewer Rat also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). Mobile Run's advantage is ratings volume (835 vs 3) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mobile Run sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Sewer Rat asks for nothing beyond the download.

Mobile Run holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mobile Run has 835 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Sewer Rat's written reviews are positive against 75% of Mobile Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Sewer Rat ships an update every 9 days, Mobile Run every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
