# MadWorld vs Top Battle

The clearest difference is ads: Top Battle at none against MadWorld's shown. Top Battle also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (203 vs 32). MadWorld's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 44%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MadWorld sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Top Battle sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Top Battle holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Top Battle has 203 ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of MadWorld's written reviews are positive against 44% of Top Battle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MadWorld ships an update every 2 weeks, Top Battle every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
