# Bronto vs Shark Attack

Bronto and Shark Attack both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Bronto's written reviews are positive against 54% of Shark Attack's. Bronto also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Shark Attack's advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 8). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bronto sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Shark Attack sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Bronto against 4.5 for Shark Attack. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shark Attack has 10K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Bronto's written reviews are positive against 54% of Shark Attack's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
