Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: How it Works at 100% against Gun Builder 3D!'s 53%. How it Works also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Gun Builder 3D!'s advantage is ratings volume (4.5K vs 5) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Gun Builder 3D! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gun Builder 3D! has 4.5K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of How it Works's written reviews are positive against 53% of Gun Builder 3D!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
