# Chaos Zero Nightmare vs Paranoize

The clearest difference is ads: Paranoize at none against Chaos Zero Nightmare's shown. Paranoize also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Chaos Zero Nightmare's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 53%) and chart position (#106 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chaos Zero Nightmare sells 45 one-off in-app purchases and Paranoize sells 17 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Chaos Zero Nightmare against 4.8 for Paranoize. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chaos Zero Nightmare has 15K ratings behind it against 2.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 66% of Chaos Zero Nightmare's written reviews are positive against 53% of Paranoize's.
