# CodeGamer vs Gun Clone

The clearest difference is rating: Gun Clone at 4.7 against CodeGamer's 2.5. Gun Clone also leads on ratings volume (9.8K vs 52). CodeGamer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gun Clone sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. CodeGamer asks for nothing beyond the download.

Gun Clone holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gun Clone has 9.8K ratings behind it against 52, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of CodeGamer's written reviews are positive against 21% of Gun Clone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CodeGamer ships an update every 4 days, Gun Clone weekly. Both last shipped on October 4, 2026.
