# WW2 vs Second World War Western Front

The clearest difference is rating: WW2 at 4.6 against Second World War Western Front's 3.7. WW2 also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and ratings volume (595 vs 34). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WW2 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Second World War Western Front sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WW2 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WW2 has 595 ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of WW2's written reviews are positive against 80% of Second World War Western Front's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

WW2 ships an update weekly, Second World War Western Front monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
