Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Squish Machine at 80% against Vikings II's 37%. Vikings II's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (3.2K vs 146). 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. Squish Machine sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Vikings II sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Vikings II holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vikings II has 3.2K ratings behind it against 146, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Squish Machine's written reviews are positive against 37% of Vikings II's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on July 4, 2026 and August 29, 2026 respectively.
