# Repulze vs Wreckfest

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Wreckfest at 674 against Repulze's 23. Wreckfest also leads on chart position (#5 vs #76). Repulze's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $2.99) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). On rating, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Repulze costs $0.99 and Wreckfest $2.99 up front. Repulze sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Wreckfest sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Wreckfest holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wreckfest has 674 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Repulze's written reviews are positive against 65% of Wreckfest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Repulze ships an update every 5 weeks, Wreckfest monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
