Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Pukk at 4.3 against Square Heroes's 3.7. Pukk also leads on ratings volume (124 vs 6). Square Heroes's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 83%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pukk sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Square Heroes sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pukk holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pukk has 124 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Pukk's written reviews are positive against 100% of Square Heroes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pukk ships an update every 2 weeks, Square Heroes every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
