# Grimfall Mobile vs Mad Survivor

The clearest difference is rating: Mad Survivor at 4.6 against Grimfall Mobile's 2.3. Mad Survivor also leads on ratings volume (4.6K vs 3) and review sentiment (47% vs 33%). Grimfall Mobile's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 13.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grimfall Mobile sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Mad Survivor sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mad Survivor holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mad Survivor has 4.6K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of Grimfall Mobile's written reviews are positive against 47% of Mad Survivor's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
