# Ponchorado vs Nuke Down

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Nuke Down at 100% against Ponchorado's 56%. Nuke Down also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Ponchorado's advantage is ratings volume (69 vs 5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ponchorado sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Nuke Down sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
