# Hangman Dojo vs Hang_Man

The clearest difference is ads: Hangman Dojo at none against Hang_Man's shown. Hangman Dojo also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Hang_Man's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and chart position (#150 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hangman Dojo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Hang_Man sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Hangman Dojo against 4.5 for Hang_Man. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hang_Man has 13K ratings behind it against 1.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 57% of Hangman Dojo's written reviews are positive against 69% of Hang_Man's.

Hangman Dojo ships an update monthly, Hang_Man weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
