# Radiant Defense vs Infinitode 2

The clearest difference is rating: Infinitode 2 at 4.8 against Radiant Defense's 4.2. Infinitode 2 also leads on review sentiment (93% vs 64%) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 144). Radiant Defense's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Radiant Defense sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Infinitode 2 sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Infinitode 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Infinitode 2 has 1.2K ratings behind it against 144, so its average is the more settled of the two.
