Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: DEAD TRIGGER 2 at 112K against Zombies vs Ninja's 546. DEAD TRIGGER 2 also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Zombies vs Ninja's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zombies vs Ninja sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and DEAD TRIGGER 2 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DEAD TRIGGER 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DEAD TRIGGER 2 has 112K ratings behind it against 546, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Zombies vs Ninja's written reviews are positive against 73% of DEAD TRIGGER 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Zombies vs Ninja ships an update fortnightly, DEAD TRIGGER 2 every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 11, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
