Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Frontline Commando at none against Modern Combat 5's shown. Frontline Commando also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 52%) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). Modern Combat 5's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (198K vs 1.9K). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Modern Combat 5 sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Frontline Commando sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Modern Combat 5 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Modern Combat 5 has 198K ratings behind it against 1.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Modern Combat 5's written reviews are positive against 67% of Frontline Commando's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Modern Combat 5 ships an update every 3 months, Frontline Commando every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
