# Turf Wars vs RAID

The clearest difference is rating: RAID at 4.7 against Turf Wars's 3.6. RAID also leads on ratings volume (528K vs 261) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Turf Wars's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 45%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Turf Wars sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and RAID sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RAID holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RAID has 528K ratings behind it against 261, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Turf Wars's written reviews are positive against 45% of RAID's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Turf Wars ships an update every 2 months, RAID fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
