# Devil Eater vs Don Zombie

The clearest difference is rating: Don Zombie at 4.7 against Devil Eater's 4.4. Don Zombie also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 157). Devil Eater's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (81% vs 64%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Devil Eater sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Don Zombie sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Don Zombie holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Don Zombie has 1.5K ratings behind it against 157, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Devil Eater's written reviews are positive against 64% of Don Zombie'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, Don Zombie every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
