Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Squad Rivals at 82% against Gun Clone's 21%. Squad Rivals also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). Gun Clone's advantage is ratings volume (9.8K vs 504) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Squad Rivals sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Gun Clone sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Gun Clone holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gun Clone has 9.8K ratings behind it against 504, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Squad Rivals's written reviews are positive against 21% of Gun Clone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Squad Rivals ships an update every 2 weeks, Gun Clone weekly. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
