# Colony Attack vs Warship War

The clearest difference is rating: Warship War at 5.0 against Colony Attack's 4.4. Warship War also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 79%). Colony Attack's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (208 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Colony Attack sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Warship War sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
