Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Head Battle at 4.4 against First Run's 4.0. Head Battle also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). First Run's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Head Battle holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: First Run has 95 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Head Battle's written reviews are positive against 68% of First Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Head Battle ships an update monthly, First Run every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
