Both are free to download. Modern Command sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Defense Zone HD Lite asks for nothing beyond the download.
Defense Zone HD Lite holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Modern Command has 429 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Defense Zone HD Lite's written reviews are positive against 64% of Modern Command's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Defense Zone HD Lite ships an update every 3 months, Modern Command every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
