# Sling Kong vs Sling Away

The clearest difference is ads: Sling Away at none against Sling Kong's shown. Sling Away also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Sling Kong's advantage is ratings volume (19K vs 6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Sling Away holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sling Kong has 19K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Sling Kong's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sling Away's.

Sling Kong ships an update every 5 weeks, Sling Away every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
