# Block Ops II vs Pixel Combat Multiplayer

The clearest difference is rating: Pixel Combat Multiplayer at 4.5 against Block Ops II's 3.4. Pixel Combat Multiplayer also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 41%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 14 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Block Ops II sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Pixel Combat Multiplayer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
