Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 당구의 신 at 88% against SMASH Badminton's 30%. SMASH Badminton's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (5.8K vs 91). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. 당구의 신 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and SMASH Badminton sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SMASH Badminton holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SMASH Badminton has 5.8K ratings behind it against 91, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of 당구의 신's written reviews are positive against 30% of SMASH Badminton's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

당구의 신 ships an update every 3 weeks, SMASH Badminton every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
