# Alien Survivor vs Strike Force

The clearest difference is rating: Strike Force at 4.6 against Alien Survivor's 1.0. Strike Force also leads on ratings volume (37 vs 1). Alien Survivor's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 6 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Alien Survivor sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Strike Force sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
