# Total Party Kill vs Mr. Runner X

The clearest difference is ads: Mr. Runner X at none against Total Party Kill's shown. Mr. Runner X also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.4). Total Party Kill's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 28) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Total Party Kill sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Mr. Runner X sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Total Party Kill holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Total Party Kill has 1.2K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Total Party Kill's written reviews are positive against 82% of Mr. Runner X's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Total Party Kill ships an update every 5 months, Mr. Runner X fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
