# Tap Guns vs Sqube Darkness

The clearest difference is monetization model: Sqube Darkness at free with in-app purchases against Tap Guns's subscription. Sqube Darkness also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (32K vs 87). Tap Guns's advantage is review sentiment (69% vs 36%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tap Guns sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Sqube Darkness sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sqube Darkness holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sqube Darkness has 32K ratings behind it against 87, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Tap Guns's written reviews are positive against 36% of Sqube Darkness's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tap Guns ships an update every 13 months, Sqube Darkness every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
