# Cell to Singularity vs The Army

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cell to Singularity at 82% against The Army's 31%. Cell to Singularity also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and chart position (#114 vs unranked). The Army's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cell to Singularity sells 17 one-off in-app purchases and The Army sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cell to Singularity holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cell to Singularity has 23K ratings behind it against 4.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of Cell to Singularity's written reviews are positive against 31% of The Army's.

Cell to Singularity ships an update fortnightly, The Army every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
