Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Carpet Bombing sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Gumslinger sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Gumslinger holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gumslinger has 15K ratings behind it against 571, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Carpet Bombing's written reviews are positive against 76% of Gumslinger's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Carpet Bombing ships an update every 3 weeks, Gumslinger monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
