# Lines the Game vs Slide

The clearest difference is ads: Slide at none against Lines the Game's shown. Slide also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 83%). Lines the Game's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 13). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Lines the Game against 4.6 for Slide. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lines the Game has 1.7K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 83% of Lines the Game's written reviews are positive against 100% of Slide's.
