# Stupid Zombies vs Into the Dead

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Stupid Zombies at 102K against Into the Dead's 11K. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stupid Zombies sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Into the Dead sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Stupid Zombies against 4.7 for Into the Dead. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stupid Zombies has 102K ratings behind it against 11K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 88% of Stupid Zombies's written reviews are positive against 90% of Into the Dead's.
