# Mortal Kombat vs Prizefighters

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Prizefighters at 90% against Mortal Kombat's 54%. Prizefighters also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Mortal Kombat's advantage is ratings volume (152K vs 4.2K) and chart position (#56 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mortal Kombat sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Prizefighters sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Prizefighters holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mortal Kombat has 152K ratings behind it against 4.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of Mortal Kombat's written reviews are positive against 90% of Prizefighters's.

Mortal Kombat ships an update every 2 months, Prizefighters fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
