# Raid Rush vs Swordash

The clearest difference is ads: Raid Rush at none against Swordash's shown. Raid Rush also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 61%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Swordash's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 17) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Raid Rush sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Swordash sells 24 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 — 4.7 for Raid Rush against 4.8 for Swordash. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Swordash has 1.1K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 86% of Raid Rush's written reviews are positive against 61% of Swordash's.

Raid Rush ships an update every 3 weeks, Swordash every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
