# Zombidle vs Mad Evolution

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Zombidle at 83% against Mad Evolution's 40%. Zombidle also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zombidle sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Mad Evolution sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
