# Diggerman vs Zombie Derby 2

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Zombie Derby 2 at 76% against Diggerman's 31%. Zombie Derby 2 also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.4). Diggerman's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Diggerman sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Zombie Derby 2 sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
