# Runaway Ghost vs Super Snail

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Super Snail at 25K against Runaway Ghost's 2. Super Snail also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and chart position (#50 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Runaway Ghost sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Super Snail sells 28 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Super Snail holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Super Snail has 25K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Runaway Ghost's written reviews are positive against 62% of Super Snail's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
