# Big Hunter vs Zeeble Five

The clearest difference is ads: Zeeble Five at none against Big Hunter's shown. Zeeble Five also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). Big Hunter's advantage is ratings volume (5.5K vs 7) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Big Hunter sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Zeeble Five sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Big Hunter holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Big Hunter has 5.5K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Big Hunter's written reviews are positive against 59% of Zeeble Five's.

Big Hunter ships an update every 3 months, Zeeble Five every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
