Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Glow XO at 100% against Join Clash's 40%. Glow XO also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). Join Clash's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 20 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Join Clash holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Join Clash has 397K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Glow XO's written reviews are positive against 40% of Join Clash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Glow XO ships an update every 20 months, Join Clash every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
