# Walking Dead vs The Complex

The clearest difference is update cadence: The Complex at every 3 months against Walking Dead's every 46 months. The Complex also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.1). Walking Dead's advantage is ratings volume (3.4K vs 187). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Walking Dead sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and The Complex sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Complex holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Walking Dead has 3.4K ratings behind it against 187, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 42% of Walking Dead's written reviews are positive against 46% of The Complex's.

Walking Dead ships an update every 46 months, The Complex every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
