# Vikings II vs LabBuster

Vikings II and LabBuster both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 78% of LabBuster's written reviews are positive against 37% of Vikings II's. LabBuster also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Vikings II's advantage is ratings volume (3.2K vs 246). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vikings II sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and LabBuster sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Vikings II against 4.7 for LabBuster. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vikings II has 3.2K ratings behind it against 246, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 37% of Vikings II's written reviews are positive against 78% of LabBuster's.

Vikings II ships an update every 2 months, LabBuster every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
