# Dungeon Hunter 5 vs Slashrun

The clearest difference is ads: Slashrun at none against Dungeon Hunter 5's shown. Slashrun also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). Dungeon Hunter 5's advantage is ratings volume (30K vs 82). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dungeon Hunter 5 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Slashrun sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Dungeon Hunter 5 against 4.6 for Slashrun. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dungeon Hunter 5 has 30K ratings behind it against 82, so its average is the more settled of the two.
