# Endless Defense vs Coreshatter

The clearest difference is rating: Coreshatter at 4.8 against Endless Defense's 4.5. Endless Defense's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Endless Defense sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Coreshatter sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Coreshatter holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Endless Defense's written reviews are positive against 80% of Coreshatter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
