# Stack Rush vs Fighter Merge

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Fighter Merge at 78% against Stack Rush's 33%. Fighter Merge also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stack Rush sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Fighter Merge sells 20 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Fighter Merge holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7.
