# War Tortoise vs Dead in the Box

The clearest difference is ads: Dead in the Box at none against War Tortoise's shown. Dead in the Box also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 9.0). War Tortoise's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (7K vs 57). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. War Tortoise sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Dead in the Box sells 8 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 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: War Tortoise has 7K ratings behind it against 57, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of War Tortoise's written reviews are positive against 80% of Dead in the Box's.
