# Combo Clash vs Mecha Fire

Combo Clash and Mecha Fire both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 41% of Mecha Fire's written reviews are positive against 10% of Combo Clash's. Mecha Fire also leads on ratings volume (17K vs 2.8K) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Combo Clash sells 17 one-off in-app purchases and Mecha Fire sells 14 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 — 4.5 for Combo Clash against 4.6 for Mecha Fire. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mecha Fire has 17K ratings behind it against 2.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 10% of Combo Clash's written reviews are positive against 41% of Mecha Fire's.
