# Micro Breaker vs Glides

The clearest difference is ads: Glides at none against Micro Breaker's shown. Glides also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). Micro Breaker's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and review sentiment (74% vs 47%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Micro Breaker sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Glides sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Micro Breaker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Micro Breaker has 11K ratings behind it against 564, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of Micro Breaker's written reviews are positive against 47% of Glides's.

Micro Breaker ships an update every 2 months, Glides every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and August 8, 2026 respectively.
