# Break the cable vs Weapon Survivor

The clearest difference is ads: Break the cable at none against Weapon Survivor's shown. Break the cable also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Weapon Survivor's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and review sentiment (42% vs 15%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Break the cable sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Weapon Survivor sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Weapon Survivor holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weapon Survivor has 19K ratings behind it against 109, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 15% of Break the cable's written reviews are positive against 42% of Weapon Survivor's.

Break the cable ships an update every 2 days, Weapon Survivor every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
