# PUBG MOBILE vs Standoff 2

The clearest difference is ads: PUBG MOBILE at none against Standoff 2's shown. PUBG MOBILE also leads on ratings volume (1.6M vs 139K) and chart position (#10 vs #34). Standoff 2's advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 53%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PUBG MOBILE sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Standoff 2 sells 123 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for PUBG MOBILE against 4.4 for Standoff 2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PUBG MOBILE has 1.6M ratings behind it against 139K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 53% of PUBG MOBILE's written reviews are positive against 76% of Standoff 2's.

PUBG MOBILE ships an update every 2 months, Standoff 2 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
