# Biotix vs Swarm Game

The clearest difference is rating: Swarm Game at 4.8 against Biotix's 4.3. Swarm Game also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 9 months) and review sentiment (95% vs 80%). Biotix's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (467 vs 49). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Biotix sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Swarm Game sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Swarm Game holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Biotix has 467 ratings behind it against 49, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Biotix's written reviews are positive against 95% of Swarm Game's.

Biotix ships an update every 9 months, Swarm Game every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
