# ZombTube vs Backpack Attack

The clearest difference is rating: Backpack Attack at 4.6 against ZombTube's 4.0. Backpack Attack also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (144 vs 17). ZombTube's advantage is review sentiment (43% vs 17%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ZombTube sells 25 one-off in-app purchases and Backpack Attack sells 20 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Backpack Attack holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backpack Attack has 144 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of ZombTube's written reviews are positive against 17% of Backpack Attack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ZombTube ships an update monthly, Backpack Attack every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
