# Cup Blitz vs Superstar Soccer

The clearest difference is rating: Superstar Soccer at 4.8 against Cup Blitz's 4.4. Superstar Soccer also leads on review sentiment (53% vs 35%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Cup Blitz's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 207). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cup Blitz sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Superstar Soccer sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Superstar Soccer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cup Blitz has 1.4K ratings behind it against 207, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 35% of Cup Blitz's written reviews are positive against 53% of Superstar Soccer's.

Cup Blitz ships an update monthly, Superstar Soccer fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
