Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Sling Drift at 4.5 against Smashy Road's 4.1. Sling Drift also leads on ratings volume (288K vs 12K). Smashy Road's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 47%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smashy Road sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Sling Drift sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sling Drift holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sling Drift has 288K ratings behind it against 12K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Smashy Road's written reviews are positive against 47% of Sling Drift's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Smashy Road ships an update every 3 months, Sling Drift every 5 months. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
