# LOOTFALL vs DEADGRID

The clearest difference is monetization model: DEADGRID at free against LOOTFALL's free with in-app purchases. DEADGRID also leads on review sentiment (93% vs 74%) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). LOOTFALL's advantage is ratings volume (440 vs 53). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LOOTFALL sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and DEADGRID sells 6 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 — 4.8 for LOOTFALL against 4.8 for DEADGRID. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LOOTFALL has 440 ratings behind it against 53, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 74% of LOOTFALL's written reviews are positive against 93% of DEADGRID's.
