Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Duck at none against Make A Zombie's 10. Make A Zombie's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (887 vs 172). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Make A Zombie sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Duck asks for nothing beyond the download.
Duck holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Make A Zombie has 887 ratings behind it against 172, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Duck's written reviews are positive against 87% of Make A Zombie's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Duck ships an update every 3 months, Make A Zombie every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
