# Heroes Inc! vs HellManager

Heroes Inc! and HellManager both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 52% of Heroes Inc!'s written reviews are positive against 37% of HellManager's. Heroes Inc! also leads on ratings volume (44K vs 7.1K). HellManager's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Heroes Inc! sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and HellManager sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HellManager holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Heroes Inc! has 44K ratings behind it against 7.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Heroes Inc!'s written reviews are positive against 37% of HellManager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
