# iSniper 3D vs Modern Combat 5

The clearest difference is rating: Modern Combat 5 at 4.7 against iSniper 3D's 3.4. Modern Combat 5 also leads on ratings volume (198K vs 1.5K) and device support (4 vs 2). iSniper 3D's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iSniper 3D sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Modern Combat 5 sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Modern Combat 5 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Modern Combat 5 has 198K ratings behind it against 1.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 49% of iSniper 3D's written reviews are positive against 52% of Modern Combat 5's.

iSniper 3D ships an update fortnightly, Modern Combat 5 every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
