# Shadowrocket vs 漫蛙

The clearest difference is price: 漫蛙 at Free against Shadowrocket's $2.99. 漫蛙 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Shadowrocket's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (12K vs 2). On in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

漫蛙 is free to download; Shadowrocket costs $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

漫蛙 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shadowrocket has 12K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
