# Banana Bunch vs Sniper Monkey

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Banana Bunch at 512 against Sniper Monkey's 8. Sniper Monkey's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Banana Bunch sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Sniper Monkey sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sniper Monkey holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Banana Bunch has 512 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 92% of Banana Bunch's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sniper Monkey's.

Banana Bunch ships an update every 2 months, Sniper Monkey every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
