# Iron Pit vs Deep Corp

The clearest difference is rating: Deep Corp at 3.9 against Iron Pit's 2.7. Deep Corp also leads on ratings volume (273 vs 19) and review sentiment (35% vs 22%). Iron Pit's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Iron Pit sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Deep Corp sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Deep Corp holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 2.7.
