# Ninja Runner vs Hood Zombies

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ninja Runner at none against Hood Zombies's 10. Ninja Runner also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). Hood Zombies's advantage is ratings volume (23 vs 1). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hood Zombies sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Ninja Runner asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Ninja Runner against 4.9 for Hood Zombies. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hood Zombies has 23 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
