# Trebuchet vs Artillery Control

The clearest difference is rating: Artillery Control at 4.4 against Trebuchet's 3.1. Artillery Control also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 7). Trebuchet's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and review sentiment (33% vs 0%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Artillery Control sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Trebuchet asks for nothing beyond the download.

Artillery Control holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Artillery Control has 1.8K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Trebuchet's written reviews are positive against 0% of Artillery Control's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Trebuchet ships an update every 5 days, Artillery Control every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
