# Web Hero vs Shape Switch

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Web Hero at 13K against Shape Switch's 36. Shape Switch's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Web Hero sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Shape Switch sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Web Hero against 4.7 for Shape Switch. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Web Hero has 13K ratings behind it against 36, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Web Hero ships an update every 2 months, Shape Switch every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and August 13, 2026 respectively.
