Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Split.Up at none against Swarm Game's shown. Split.Up also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Swarm Game's advantage is ratings volume (41 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Split.Up sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Swarm Game sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Split.Up holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Swarm Game has 41 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Split.Up's written reviews are positive against 95% of Swarm Game's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Split.Up ships an update every 5 days, Swarm Game every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
