# 3D Benchmark vs Armed Air Forces

The clearest difference is rating: Armed Air Forces at 4.5 against 3D Benchmark's 3.3. Armed Air Forces also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 44%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 10 months). 3D Benchmark's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 3D Benchmark sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Armed Air Forces sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Armed Air Forces holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Armed Air Forces has 26K ratings behind it against 84, so its average is the more settled of the two.
