# Alien Attack vs Cthulhu

The clearest difference is rating: Cthulhu at 5.0 against Alien Attack's 4.5. Cthulhu also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 18) and ads (none vs shown). Alien Attack's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Alien Attack sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Cthulhu asks for nothing beyond the download.
