# Conquer Earth vs Critter Code

The clearest difference is rating: Critter Code at 4.3 against Conquer Earth's 2.4. Conquer Earth's advantage is review sentiment (47% vs 33%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Conquer Earth sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Critter Code sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Critter Code holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Conquer Earth's written reviews are positive against 33% of Critter Code's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Conquer Earth ships an update monthly, Critter Code every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
