Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Biotix at 80% against MicroWars's 34%. Biotix also leads on ads (none vs shown). MicroWars's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Biotix sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and MicroWars sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
MicroWars holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MicroWars has 10K ratings behind it against 467, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Biotix's written reviews are positive against 34% of MicroWars's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Biotix ships an update every 9 months, MicroWars every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
