# Switchy Sides vs Cannon Shot!

The clearest difference is ads: Switchy Sides at none against Cannon Shot!'s shown. Switchy Sides also leads on review sentiment (61% vs 36%) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). Cannon Shot!'s advantage is ratings volume (79K vs 61) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Switchy Sides sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Cannon Shot! sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cannon Shot! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cannon Shot! has 79K ratings behind it against 61, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Switchy Sides's written reviews are positive against 36% of Cannon Shot!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Switchy Sides ships an update every 5 weeks, Cannon Shot! every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
