# Devil Eater vs GunStrider

Devil Eater and GunStrider both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 81% of Devil Eater's written reviews are positive against 65% of GunStrider's. Devil Eater also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and ratings volume (157 vs 25). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Devil Eater sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and GunStrider sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GunStrider holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Devil Eater has 157 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Devil Eater's written reviews are positive against 65% of GunStrider's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Devil Eater ships an update every 2 weeks, GunStrider monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
