Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Quickfire Interactive at 100% against HITSTER's 35%. Quickfire Interactive also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.0). HITSTER's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 2.7) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 15 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HITSTER holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HITSTER has 3.7K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Quickfire Interactive's written reviews are positive against 35% of HITSTER's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Quickfire Interactive ships an update every 15 months, HITSTER every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
