# Paper.io 4 vs 80s GAMES

The clearest difference is ads: 80s GAMES at none against Paper.io 4's shown. 80s GAMES also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Paper.io 4's advantage is ratings volume (16K vs 4) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Paper.io 4 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 80s GAMES sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Paper.io 4 against 4.5 for 80s GAMES. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paper.io 4 has 16K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Paper.io 4 ships an update monthly, 80s GAMES every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
