# Death Worm™ vs Carrion

The clearest difference is ads: Carrion at none against Death Worm™'s shown. Carrion also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). Death Worm™'s advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (57K vs 1.8K). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Death Worm™ sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Carrion sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Death Worm™ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Death Worm™ has 57K ratings behind it against 1.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of Death Worm™'s written reviews are positive against 70% of Carrion's.

Death Worm™ ships an update monthly, Carrion every 5 days. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
