# Chicken Invaders 3 Easter HD vs Falcon Squad

The clearest difference is rating: Falcon Squad at 4.6 against Chicken Invaders 3 Easter HD's 3.5. Falcon Squad also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 17 months) and ratings volume (25K vs 4). Chicken Invaders 3 Easter HD's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chicken Invaders 3 Easter HD sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Falcon Squad sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Falcon Squad holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Falcon Squad has 25K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Chicken Invaders 3 Easter HD's written reviews are positive against 40% of Falcon Squad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Chicken Invaders 3 Easter HD ships an update every 17 months, Falcon Squad every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
