Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Swordash at 4.8 against Square Heroes's 3.7. Swordash also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 6) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 4 weeks). Square Heroes's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 61%) and ads (none vs shown). 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 Swordash sells 24 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Swordash holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Swordash has 1.1K 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 61% of Swordash'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, Swordash every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
