# Ragdoll Gladiator vs Dark Hunter

The clearest difference is rating: Dark Hunter at 4.6 against Ragdoll Gladiator's 2.7. Dark Hunter also leads on ratings volume (514 vs 6). Ragdoll Gladiator's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dark Hunter sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Ragdoll Gladiator asks for nothing beyond the download.

Dark Hunter holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dark Hunter has 514 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Ragdoll Gladiator's written reviews are positive against 33% of Dark Hunter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Ragdoll Gladiator ships an update every 8 days, Dark Hunter every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
