# SmashBall Up vs Duck War

SmashBall Up and Duck War both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of SmashBall Up's written reviews are positive against 33% of Duck War's. Duck War's advantage is chart position (#60 vs unranked) and ratings volume (442 vs 79). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SmashBall Up sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Duck War 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 — 4.7 for SmashBall Up against 4.8 for Duck War. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Duck War has 442 ratings behind it against 79, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of SmashBall Up's written reviews are positive against 33% of Duck War's.
