# Alien vs RESIDENT EVIL 3

The clearest difference is rating: Alien at 4.5 against RESIDENT EVIL 3's 4.0. Alien also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 59%) and chart position (#161 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Alien sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and RESIDENT EVIL 3 sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Alien holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alien has 1.3K ratings behind it against 245, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Alien's written reviews are positive against 59% of RESIDENT EVIL 3's.
