Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pixel Rush at 4.7 against Spank Runner's 3.8. Pixel Rush also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (12K vs 20). Spank Runner's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Spank Runner sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Pixel Rush asks for nothing beyond the download.
Pixel Rush holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pixel Rush has 12K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Pixel Rush's written reviews are positive against 50% of Spank Runner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pixel Rush ships an update every 3 months, Spank Runner every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
