# Escape vs Bold Attack

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Escape at 67% against Bold Attack's 19%. Escape also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). Bold Attack's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 3 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bold Attack sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Escape asks for nothing beyond the download.

Bold Attack holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bold Attack has 447 ratings behind it against 74, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Escape's written reviews are positive against 19% of Bold Attack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Escape ships an update every 3 months, Bold Attack daily. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
