# Zombies vs Ninja vs DEAD TRIGGER 2

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.

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.

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.
