# iBomber 3 vs Gunship Sequel

The clearest difference is price: Gunship Sequel at Free against iBomber 3's $2.99. Gunship Sequel also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 89) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). iBomber 3's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Gunship Sequel is free to download; iBomber 3 costs $2.99 up front. Gunship Sequel sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. iBomber 3 asks for nothing beyond the download.

iBomber 3 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gunship Sequel has 14K ratings behind it against 89, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of iBomber 3's written reviews are positive against 79% of Gunship Sequel's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iBomber 3 ships an update every 2 months, Gunship Sequel every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 27, 2026.
