Both are free to download. DEAD 2048 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Oboy asks for nothing beyond the download.
DEAD 2048 holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DEAD 2048 has 82 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of DEAD 2048's written reviews are positive against 100% of Oboy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DEAD 2048 ships an update every 2 weeks, Oboy monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
