Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Base Defense! at 4.7 against SWAT Forces's 3.0. Base Defense! also leads on ratings volume (10K vs 18) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). SWAT Forces's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Base Defense! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. SWAT Forces asks for nothing beyond the download.
Base Defense! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Base Defense! has 10K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of SWAT Forces's written reviews are positive against 22% of Base Defense!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SWAT Forces ships an update every 2 weeks, Base Defense! weekly. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
