Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Glow Glow at none against Super Starfish's 10. Glow Glow also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Super Starfish's advantage is ratings volume (30K vs 17). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Super Starfish holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Super Starfish has 30K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Super Starfish's written reviews are positive against 95% of Glow Glow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Super Starfish ships an update every 3 weeks, Glow Glow weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
