# Boom Pilot vs Strike Force

The clearest difference is ads: Boom Pilot at none against Strike Force's shown. Boom Pilot also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 103). Strike Force's advantage is review sentiment (69% vs 44%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Boom Pilot sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Strike Force sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Boom Pilot against 4.6 for Strike Force. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boom Pilot has 1.4K ratings behind it against 103, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 44% of Boom Pilot's written reviews are positive against 69% of Strike Force's.

Boom Pilot ships an update every 2 months, Strike Force every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
