# Spooky Runner vs Will Hero

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Will Hero at 6K against Spooky Runner's 87. Will Hero also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Spooky Runner's advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 58%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spooky Runner sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and Will Hero sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Spooky Runner against 4.7 for Will Hero. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Will Hero has 6K ratings behind it against 87, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 73% of Spooky Runner's written reviews are positive against 58% of Will Hero's.

Spooky Runner ships an update every 2 months, Will Hero every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
