Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: OverclockeTD at 4.5 against Pew Zoom Boom's 4.0. OverclockeTD also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 1).

Both are free to download. Pew Zoom Boom sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and OverclockeTD sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
OverclockeTD holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OverclockeTD has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Pew Zoom Boom's written reviews are positive against 80% of OverclockeTD's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pew Zoom Boom ships an update every 9 days, OverclockeTD every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
