# Kill Ragdoll vs Smash the Dummy

The clearest difference is ads: Kill Ragdoll at none against Smash the Dummy's shown. Kill Ragdoll also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 13 months) and review sentiment (75% vs 64%). Smash the Dummy's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (445 vs 27). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kill Ragdoll sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Smash the Dummy sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Smash the Dummy holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smash the Dummy has 445 ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Kill Ragdoll's written reviews are positive against 64% of Smash the Dummy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Kill Ragdoll ships an update every 4 days, Smash the Dummy every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
