# Hunter Strike vs Ninja Assassin

The clearest difference is update cadence: Hunter Strike at every 5 days against Ninja Assassin's every 4 months. Hunter Strike also leads on ratings volume (4.4K vs 14) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hunter Strike sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Ninja Assassin sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Hunter Strike against 4.6 for Ninja Assassin. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hunter Strike has 4.4K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Hunter Strike ships an update every 5 days, Ninja Assassin every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
