# Metal Force vs Bullet Force

The clearest difference is ads: Metal Force at none against Bullet Force's shown. Metal Force also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 70%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Bullet Force's advantage is ratings volume (50K vs 32) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Metal Force sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Bullet Force sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Metal Force against 4.5 for Bullet Force. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bullet Force has 50K ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 79% of Metal Force's written reviews are positive against 70% of Bullet Force's.

Metal Force ships an update every 2 months, Bullet Force fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
