# Rescue Hero vs Pull the Pin

The clearest difference is monetization model: Pull the Pin at free against Rescue Hero's free with in-app purchases. Pull the Pin also leads on review sentiment (55% vs 35%). Rescue Hero's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 40) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rescue Hero sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Pull the Pin sells 6 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 — 4.4 for Rescue Hero against 4.3 for Pull the Pin. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rescue Hero has 1.4K ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 35% of Rescue Hero's written reviews are positive against 55% of Pull the Pin's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
