# Zombusters vs Star Blaster

The clearest difference is update cadence: Star Blaster at every 5 days against Zombusters's every 3 weeks. Zombusters's advantage is chart position (#81 vs unranked) and ratings volume (837 vs 109). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zombusters sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Star Blaster sells 10 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 — 4.6 for Zombusters against 4.7 for Star Blaster. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zombusters has 837 ratings behind it against 109, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 30% and 30% positive.

Zombusters ships an update every 3 weeks, Star Blaster every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
