# Into the Dead vs Board 2 Death

The clearest difference is ads: Board 2 Death at none against Into the Dead's shown. Board 2 Death also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Into the Dead's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 9). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Into the Dead sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Board 2 Death sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Board 2 Death holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Into the Dead has 11K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Into the Dead's written reviews are positive against 83% of Board 2 Death's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Into the Dead ships an update every 3 months, Board 2 Death every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
