# DEADWORD vs Crack List Solo

The clearest difference is ads: DEADWORD at none against Crack List Solo's shown. DEADWORD also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 34%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Crack List Solo's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 58) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DEADWORD sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Crack List Solo sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Crack List Solo holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crack List Solo has 1.2K ratings behind it against 58, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of DEADWORD's written reviews are positive against 34% of Crack List Solo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

DEADWORD ships an update every 2 weeks, Crack List Solo every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
