# Sandbox Zombies vs Toribash

The clearest difference is ads: Sandbox Zombies at none against Toribash's shown. Sandbox Zombies also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 55%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.4). Toribash's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sandbox Zombies sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Toribash sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Toribash holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 325 and 281 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Sandbox Zombies's written reviews are positive against 55% of Toribash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Sandbox Zombies ships an update every 11 days, Toribash every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
