Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: DEADWORD at none against Crack List Solo's shown. DEADWORD also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 34%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Crack List Solo's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 58) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DEADWORD sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Crack List Solo sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Crack List Solo holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crack List Solo has 1.2K ratings behind it against 58, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of DEADWORD's written reviews are positive against 34% of Crack List Solo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

DEADWORD ships an update every 2 weeks, Crack List Solo every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
