# PUBG MOBILE vs Combat Master Mobile

The clearest difference is ads: PUBG MOBILE at none against Combat Master Mobile's shown. PUBG MOBILE also leads on ratings volume (1.6M vs 27K) and chart position (#3 vs unranked). Combat Master Mobile's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PUBG MOBILE sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Combat Master Mobile sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Combat Master Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PUBG MOBILE has 1.6M ratings behind it against 27K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 53% of PUBG MOBILE's written reviews are positive against 66% of Combat Master Mobile's.

PUBG MOBILE ships an update every 2 months, Combat Master Mobile every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
