# Stickman Hook vs Swing Man

The clearest difference is ads: Swing Man at none against Stickman Hook's shown. Stickman Hook's advantage is ratings volume (1M vs 3.5K) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stickman Hook sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Swing Man sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Stickman Hook holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stickman Hook has 1M ratings behind it against 3.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Stickman Hook's written reviews are positive against 76% of Swing Man's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Stickman Hook ships an update every 5 weeks, Swing Man every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
