# AlphaMerge vs Bold Attack

The clearest difference is review sentiment: AlphaMerge at 83% against Bold Attack's 19%. AlphaMerge also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). Bold Attack's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 8 days) and ratings volume (447 vs 14). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AlphaMerge sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Bold Attack sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AlphaMerge holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bold Attack has 447 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two.
