# Police Runner vs PAKO 3

The clearest difference is rating: Police Runner at 4.5 against PAKO 3's 4.0. Police Runner also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (12K vs 920). PAKO 3's advantage is review sentiment (43% vs 25%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Police Runner sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and PAKO 3 sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Police Runner holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Police Runner has 12K ratings behind it against 920, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Police Runner's written reviews are positive against 43% of PAKO 3's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
