# Combat Multiplayer vs SOM

The clearest difference is rating: SOM at 4.7 against Combat Multiplayer's 3.4. SOM also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 55%) and ratings volume (228 vs 29). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Combat Multiplayer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and SOM sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SOM holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.4.
