# Gladiator Simulator vs Shoot Die Repeat

The clearest difference is rating: Gladiator Simulator at 4.7 against Shoot Die Repeat's 3.8. Gladiator Simulator also leads on review sentiment (76% vs 45%) and ratings volume (9K vs 385). Shoot Die Repeat's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gladiator Simulator sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Shoot Die Repeat sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Gladiator Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gladiator Simulator has 9K ratings behind it against 385, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of Gladiator Simulator's written reviews are positive against 45% of Shoot Die Repeat's.
