Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mars at 4.8 against Smash Rocket's 3.5. Mars also leads on ratings volume (22K vs 4). Smash Rocket's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Smash Rocket sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Mars sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mars holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mars has 22K 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 91% of Mars's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Smash Rocket ships an update weekly, Mars monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
