# Cut ’em all vs Shield Master!

The clearest difference is rating: Cut ’em all at 4.5 against Shield Master!'s 3.7. Cut ’em all also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 7) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Shield Master!'s advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 59%) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cut ’em all sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Shield Master! asks for nothing beyond the download.

Cut ’em all holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cut ’em all has 14K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Cut ’em all's written reviews are positive against 100% of Shield Master!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cut ’em all ships an update every 3 weeks, Shield Master! every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
