# Spunge Invaders vs Pixel Combat

The clearest difference is rating: Pixel Combat at 4.8 against Spunge Invaders's 3.8. Pixel Combat also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 11) and review sentiment (87% vs 77%). Spunge Invaders's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spunge Invaders sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Pixel Combat sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pixel Combat holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pixel Combat has 14K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two.
