# Down to Zero vs Rope Slash

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Down to Zero at 100% against Rope Slash's 29%. Down to Zero also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Rope Slash's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Down to Zero sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Rope Slash sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Down to Zero holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6.
