# Raid Rush vs Whiteout Survival

The clearest difference is update cadence: Raid Rush at every 10 days against Whiteout Survival's every 2 months. Whiteout Survival's advantage is chart position (#1 vs #19) and ratings volume (476K vs 57K). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Raid Rush sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Whiteout Survival sells 10 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 — 4.5 for Raid Rush against 4.6 for Whiteout Survival. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Whiteout Survival has 476K ratings behind it against 57K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 19% of Raid Rush's written reviews are positive against 22% of Whiteout Survival's.

Raid Rush ships an update every 10 days, Whiteout Survival every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
