# HuntStand vs LethalCalls

The clearest difference is price: HuntStand at Free against LethalCalls's $4.99. HuntStand also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 11 months). LethalCalls's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 16) and review sentiment (64% vs 37%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

HuntStand is free to download; LethalCalls costs $4.99 up front. HuntStand sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per year. LethalCalls asks for nothing beyond the download.

HuntStand holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HuntStand has 59K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of HuntStand's written reviews are positive against 64% of LethalCalls's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

HuntStand ships an update every 3 weeks, LethalCalls every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
