# Split Masters vs Gate Rusher

The clearest difference is rating: Gate Rusher at 4.6 against Split Masters's 3.9. Gate Rusher also leads on ratings volume (8K vs 2.1K). Split Masters's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (59% vs 42%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Split Masters sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Gate Rusher sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Gate Rusher holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2.1K and 8K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Split Masters's written reviews are positive against 42% of Gate Rusher's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Split Masters ships an update every 3 weeks, Gate Rusher every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
