# 保卫萝卜3 vs Buddies Adventure

The clearest difference is rating: 保卫萝卜3 at 2.8 against Buddies Adventure's 1.9. 保卫萝卜3 also leads on ratings volume (113 vs 20). Buddies Adventure's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 28) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 保卫萝卜3 sells 26 one-off in-app purchases. Buddies Adventure asks for nothing beyond the download.

保卫萝卜3 holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 保卫萝卜3 has 113 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of 保卫萝卜3's written reviews are positive against 38% of Buddies Adventure's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

保卫萝卜3 ships an update fortnightly, Buddies Adventure every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
