# Death Worm™ vs Rapid Worms

The clearest difference is update cadence: Death Worm™ at monthly against Rapid Worms's every 18 months. Death Worm™ also leads on ratings volume (58K vs 2) and chart position (#89 vs unranked). Rapid Worms's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
