Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: GameChanger at 902K against StrikeEmOut's 173. GameChanger also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and chart position (#1 vs unranked). StrikeEmOut's advantage is review sentiment (89% vs 64%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. GameChanger sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and StrikeEmOut sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
GameChanger holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GameChanger has 902K ratings behind it against 173, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of GameChanger's written reviews are positive against 89% of StrikeEmOut's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GameChanger ships an update weekly, StrikeEmOut fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
