# Magnet Bird vs SARKWO

The clearest difference is rating: SARKWO at 4.7 against Magnet Bird's 3.8. SARKWO also leads on ratings volume (305 vs 4) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Magnet Bird sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and SARKWO sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SARKWO holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SARKWO has 305 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
