# Z vs Reload Rush

The clearest difference is rating: Reload Rush at 4.7 against Z's 3.3. Reload Rush also leads on ratings volume (17K vs 306). Z's advantage is review sentiment (35% vs 25%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Z sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Reload Rush sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Reload Rush holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reload Rush has 17K ratings behind it against 306, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Z's written reviews are positive against 25% of Reload Rush's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Z ships an update fortnightly, Reload Rush every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
