Verdict
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.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
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.
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.
Smashy Road ships an update every 3 months, Sling Drift every 5 months. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
