Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Zombie HQ at 78% against Ninja Farmer's 13%. Zombie HQ also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). Ninja Farmer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zombie HQ sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Ninja Farmer sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ninja Farmer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zombie HQ has 1.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Zombie HQ's written reviews are positive against 13% of Ninja Farmer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Zombie HQ ships an update every 2 months, Ninja Farmer every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
