# HellCopter vs Gun Tycoon

HellCopter and Gun Tycoon both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 72% of HellCopter's written reviews are positive against 12% of Gun Tycoon's. HellCopter also leads on ratings volume (158K vs 18K). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HellCopter sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Gun Tycoon sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for HellCopter against 4.6 for Gun Tycoon. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HellCopter has 158K ratings behind it against 18K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 72% of HellCopter's written reviews are positive against 12% of Gun Tycoon's.
