# Colossatron vs Tentacle Wars ™

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tentacle Wars ™ at 90% against Colossatron's 36%. Tentacle Wars ™ also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.5) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Colossatron sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Tentacle Wars ™ sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tentacle Wars ™ holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tentacle Wars ™ has 7.1K ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 36% of Colossatron's written reviews are positive against 90% of Tentacle Wars ™'s.
