# Once Human vs Plunder Panic

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Plunder Panic at 100% against Once Human's 57%. Plunder Panic also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Once Human's advantage is ratings volume (17K vs 9) and chart position (#65 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Once Human sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and Plunder Panic sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
