# Swamp Attack vs Angry Birds 2

Swamp Attack and Angry Birds 2 both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of Swamp Attack's written reviews are positive against 48% of Angry Birds 2's. Angry Birds 2's advantage is ratings volume (1.6M vs 35K) and chart position (#13 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Swamp Attack sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Angry Birds 2 sells 12 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 Swamp Attack against 4.6 for Angry Birds 2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Angry Birds 2 has 1.6M ratings behind it against 35K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 83% of Swamp Attack's written reviews are positive against 48% of Angry Birds 2's.
