# Combo Crew vs Bullet Boy

The clearest difference is rating: Bullet Boy at 4.7 against Combo Crew's 4.2. Bullet Boy also leads on ratings volume (790 vs 46) and review sentiment (90% vs 80%). Combo Crew's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Bullet Boy holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bullet Boy has 790 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 90% of Bullet Boy's.
