# Squadron 1945 vs Squadron War

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Squadron War at 100% against Squadron 1945's 50%. Squadron War also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). Squadron 1945's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On price, ratings volume, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Squadron 1945 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Squadron War asks for nothing beyond the download.

Squadron 1945 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 75 and 52 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Squadron 1945's written reviews are positive against 100% of Squadron War's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
