# Sandboxx vs Chap.App

The clearest difference is monetization model: Chap.App at free against Sandboxx's free with in-app purchases. Chap.App also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.6). Sandboxx's advantage is ratings volume (174K vs 1) and chart position (#84 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Sandboxx against 5.0 for Chap.App. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sandboxx has 174K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Sandboxx ships an update every 2 weeks, Chap.App weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
