# Gun Gear vs Craft Drill

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Craft Drill at 29% against Gun Gear's 5%. Craft Drill also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3). Gun Gear's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 207). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gun Gear sells 17 one-off in-app purchases and Craft Drill sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Craft Drill holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gun Gear has 1.4K ratings behind it against 207, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 5% of Gun Gear's written reviews are positive against 29% of Craft Drill's.

Gun Gear ships an update every 9 days, Craft Drill every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
