# BioBeasts vs War Tortoise

The clearest difference is ads: BioBeasts at none against War Tortoise's shown. BioBeasts also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (7.1 vs 9.0). War Tortoise's advantage is ratings volume (7K vs 81). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BioBeasts sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and War Tortoise sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

War Tortoise holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: War Tortoise has 7K ratings behind it against 81, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of BioBeasts's written reviews are positive against 89% of War Tortoise's.

BioBeasts ships an update every 3 weeks, War Tortoise every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
