# MARVEL Strike Force vs Spider Fighter

MARVEL Strike Force and Spider Fighter both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 72% of Spider Fighter's written reviews are positive against 43% of MARVEL Strike Force's. Spider Fighter also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). MARVEL Strike Force's advantage is chart position (#25 vs unranked) and ratings volume (309K vs 43K). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MARVEL Strike Force sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Spider Fighter sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for MARVEL Strike Force against 4.7 for Spider Fighter. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MARVEL Strike Force has 309K ratings behind it against 43K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
