# Combo Crew vs NinjAwesome

The clearest difference is rating: NinjAwesome at 4.8 against Combo Crew's 4.2. NinjAwesome also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 46) and review sentiment (93% vs 80%). Combo Crew's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Combo Crew sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and NinjAwesome sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NinjAwesome holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NinjAwesome has 1.1K ratings behind it against 46, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Combo Crew's written reviews are positive against 93% of NinjAwesome's.

Combo Crew ships an update fortnightly, NinjAwesome every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
