# Make the Cut vs Shaft Run

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Make the Cut at 88% against Shaft Run's 0%. Make the Cut also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (15 vs 1). Shaft Run's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Make the Cut sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Shaft Run sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Shaft Run holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Make the Cut has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Make the Cut's written reviews are positive against 0% of Shaft Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
