# Dead Center vs Milkshake

The clearest difference is rating: Milkshake at 5.0 against Dead Center's 3.5. Milkshake also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 62%). Dead Center's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 45 months) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dead Center sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Milkshake sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Milkshake holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dead Center has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of Dead Center's written reviews are positive against 100% of Milkshake's.

Dead Center ships an update every 4 months, Milkshake every 45 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
