# FistPunch! vs VR Noir

The clearest difference is review sentiment: VR Noir at 61% against FistPunch!'s 0%. VR Noir also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months). FistPunch!'s advantage is rating (3.8 vs 3.2). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

FistPunch! holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VR Noir has 41 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of FistPunch!'s written reviews are positive against 61% of VR Noir's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

FistPunch! ships an update every 4 months, VR Noir every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
