# Antivirus vs West Game

The clearest difference is rating: West Game at 4.3 against Antivirus's 3.7. West Game also leads on ratings volume (10K vs 25) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). Antivirus's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Antivirus sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and West Game sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

West Game holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: West Game has 10K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Antivirus's written reviews are positive against 59% of West Game's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Antivirus ships an update every 2 months, West Game monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
