# GunCrafter vs Pixel Combat Multiplayer

The clearest difference is ratings volume: GunCrafter at 3.8K against Pixel Combat Multiplayer's 372. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GunCrafter sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Pixel Combat Multiplayer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for GunCrafter against 4.5 for Pixel Combat Multiplayer. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GunCrafter has 3.8K ratings behind it against 372, so its average is the more settled of the two.
