# Square Heroes vs Bullet Hell Heroes

The clearest difference is rating: Bullet Hell Heroes at 4.7 against Square Heroes's 3.7. Bullet Hell Heroes also leads on ratings volume (119 vs 6) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 weeks). Square Heroes's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Square Heroes sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Bullet Hell Heroes sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bullet Hell Heroes holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bullet Hell Heroes has 119 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Square Heroes's written reviews are positive against 88% of Bullet Hell Heroes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Square Heroes ships an update every 4 weeks, Bullet Hell Heroes every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
