# ZigZag vs Ninja Kid Sword Flip Challenge

The clearest difference is ads: Ninja Kid Sword Flip Challenge at none against ZigZag's shown. Ninja Kid Sword Flip Challenge also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). ZigZag's advantage is ratings volume (32K vs 105) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ZigZag sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Ninja Kid Sword Flip Challenge 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 — 4.2 for ZigZag against 4.3 for Ninja Kid Sword Flip Challenge. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ZigZag has 32K ratings behind it against 105, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 64% of ZigZag's written reviews are positive against 50% of Ninja Kid Sword Flip Challenge's.
