Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PinOut! at 4.2 against Smash Rocket's 3.5. PinOut! also leads on ratings volume (7.1K vs 4). Smash Rocket's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smash Rocket sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and PinOut! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
PinOut! holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PinOut! has 7.1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Smash Rocket's written reviews are positive against 67% of PinOut!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Smash Rocket ships an update weekly, PinOut! every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
