Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Monkeyrama at none against Sling Kong's shown. Monkeyrama also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Sling Kong's advantage is ratings volume (19K vs 24) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sling Kong sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Monkeyrama sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sling Kong holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sling Kong has 19K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Sling Kong's written reviews are positive against 92% of Monkeyrama's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sling Kong ships an update every 5 weeks, Monkeyrama monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
