Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Die Again at 4.8 against N.E.X.T.B.O.T.S.'s 4.0. Die Again also leads on ratings volume (37K vs 2K) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). N.E.X.T.B.O.T.S.'s advantage is review sentiment (55% vs 33%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Die Again holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Die Again has 37K ratings behind it against 2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of N.E.X.T.B.O.T.S.'s written reviews are positive against 33% of Die Again's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

N.E.X.T.B.O.T.S. ships an update every 6 weeks, Die Again every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
