# Nuclear War 2 vs War and Wit

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Nuclear War 2 at 73% against War and Wit's 18%. Nuclear War 2 also leads on ads (none vs shown). War and Wit's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.8) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nuclear War 2 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and War and Wit sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

War and Wit holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8.

Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Nuclear War 2's written reviews are positive against 18% of War and Wit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
