Verdict

The call

Trumped and Squid Game both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of Trumped's written reviews are positive against 45% of Squid Game's. Trumped also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Squid Game's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Squid Game holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Squid Game has 40K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Trumped's written reviews are positive against 45% of Squid Game's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Trumped ships an update every 9 days, Squid Game every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
