# Base Defense! vs Tribe Tower Defense

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tribe Tower Defense at 100% against Base Defense!'s 22%. Tribe Tower Defense also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Base Defense!'s advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (10K vs 5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Base Defense! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Tribe Tower Defense asks for nothing beyond the download.

Base Defense! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Base Defense! has 10K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Base Defense!'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Tribe Tower Defense's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
