# BoxHead vs Zombies vs The Doomsland

The clearest difference is rating: The Doomsland at 4.7 against BoxHead vs Zombies's 2.7. The Doomsland also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 17 months) and ratings volume (177 vs 12). BoxHead vs Zombies's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (60% vs 47%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Doomsland sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. BoxHead vs Zombies asks for nothing beyond the download.

The Doomsland holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Doomsland has 177 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of BoxHead vs Zombies's written reviews are positive against 47% of The Doomsland's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
