Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
PWND holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scary Sounds and Effects has 184 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of PWND's written reviews are positive against 45% of Scary Sounds and Effects's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PWND ships an update every 4 months, Scary Sounds and Effects every 14 months. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
