Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Mr. Runner X at none against Total Party Kill's shown. Mr. Runner X also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.4). Total Party Kill's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 28) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Total Party Kill holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Total Party Kill has 1.2K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Total Party Kill's written reviews are positive against 82% of Mr. Runner X's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Total Party Kill ships an update every 5 months, Mr. Runner X fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
