# CookieRun vs 초동수사

The clearest difference is rating: CookieRun at 4.7 against 초동수사's 3.3. CookieRun also leads on ratings volume (68K vs 3) and chart position (#4 vs unranked). 초동수사's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and review sentiment (92% vs 76%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CookieRun sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month and 초동수사 sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CookieRun holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CookieRun has 68K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of CookieRun's written reviews are positive against 92% of 초동수사's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CookieRun ships an update monthly, 초동수사 weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
