# Climb Up! vs KickZombie

The clearest difference is rating: KickZombie at 5.0 against Climb Up!'s 3.7. KickZombie also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Climb Up!'s advantage is update cadence (every 13 months vs every 56 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

KickZombie holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Climb Up!'s written reviews are positive against 75% of KickZombie's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Climb Up! ships an update every 13 months, KickZombie every 56 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
