# Commander At War vs Wacky Squad

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Commander At War at 83% against Wacky Squad's 45%. Commander At War also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Wacky Squad's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 8 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Commander At War sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Wacky Squad sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Wacky Squad holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wacky Squad has 1.2K ratings behind it against 117, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Commander At War's written reviews are positive against 45% of Wacky Squad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Commander At War ships an update every 8 days, Wacky Squad every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
