Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Zombie Comando Shooting at none against Plants vs. Zombies™'s shown. Zombie Comando Shooting also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 57%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Plants vs. Zombies™'s advantage is ratings volume (942K vs 794) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Plants vs. Zombies™ sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Zombie Comando Shooting sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Plants vs. Zombies™ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Plants vs. Zombies™ has 942K ratings behind it against 794, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Plants vs. Zombies™'s written reviews are positive against 91% of Zombie Comando Shooting's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
