Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Gun Clone at 9.8K against Pendulum Sweeper's 405. Gun Clone also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Pendulum Sweeper's advantage is review sentiment (32% vs 21%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Gun Clone sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Pendulum Sweeper sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Gun Clone holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gun Clone has 9.8K ratings behind it against 405, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Gun Clone's written reviews are positive against 32% of Pendulum Sweeper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
