# Penetrator vs Neon Splash

The clearest difference is rating: Neon Splash at 4.7 against Penetrator's 3.7. Neon Splash also leads on ratings volume (42K vs 9) and review sentiment (62% vs 38%). Penetrator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Penetrator sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Neon Splash sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Neon Splash holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Neon Splash has 42K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 38% of Penetrator's written reviews are positive against 62% of Neon Splash's.

Penetrator ships an update every 3 weeks, Neon Splash every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
