Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Zombie Apocalypse at 4.5 against BoxHead vs Zombies's 2.7. Zombie Apocalypse also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 17 months) and ratings volume (593 vs 12). BoxHead vs Zombies's advantage is review sentiment (54% vs 18%) and in-app purchases (none vs 14). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Zombie Apocalypse holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zombie Apocalypse has 593 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of BoxHead vs Zombies's written reviews are positive against 18% of Zombie Apocalypse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BoxHead vs Zombies ships an update every 17 months, Zombie Apocalypse fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on August 26, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
