# Galaxy Run vs DEAD TRIGGER 2

The clearest difference is ads: Galaxy Run at none against DEAD TRIGGER 2's shown. Galaxy Run also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). DEAD TRIGGER 2's advantage is ratings volume (112K vs 64) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Galaxy Run sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and DEAD TRIGGER 2 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DEAD TRIGGER 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DEAD TRIGGER 2 has 112K ratings behind it against 64, so its average is the more settled of the two.
