# NukeZone vs Loop Hero

NukeZone and Loop Hero both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of NukeZone's written reviews are positive against 75% of Loop Hero's. NukeZone also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). Loop Hero's advantage is ratings volume (3.9K vs 7) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NukeZone sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Loop Hero sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for NukeZone against 4.9 for Loop Hero. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Loop Hero has 3.9K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of NukeZone's written reviews are positive against 75% of Loop Hero's.

NukeZone ships an update every 4 days, Loop Hero every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
