Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: El Paso, Elsewhere at 4.7 against Smash Rocket's 3.5. El Paso, Elsewhere also leads on ratings volume (744 vs 4) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). Smash Rocket's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 82%) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 11.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

El Paso, Elsewhere holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: El Paso, Elsewhere has 744 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 82% of El Paso, Elsewhere's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Smash Rocket ships an update weekly, El Paso, Elsewhere every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
