# Survivor Kingdoms vs Archero 2

The clearest difference is ads: Archero 2 at none against Survivor Kingdoms's shown. Archero 2 also leads on ratings volume (23K vs 2.3K) and chart position (#20 vs unranked). Survivor Kingdoms's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks) and review sentiment (69% vs 54%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Survivor Kingdoms sells 36 one-off in-app purchases and Archero 2 sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Survivor Kingdoms against 4.6 for Archero 2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Archero 2 has 23K ratings behind it against 2.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 69% of Survivor Kingdoms's written reviews are positive against 54% of Archero 2's.

Survivor Kingdoms ships an update every 10 days, Archero 2 every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
