Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Monster Squad Rush at 4.7 against Monster Box!'s 4.0. Monster Squad Rush also leads on ratings volume (52K vs 3.2K). Monster Box!'s advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (46% vs 31%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Monster Squad Rush holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monster Squad Rush has 52K ratings behind it against 3.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Monster Box!'s written reviews are positive against 31% of Monster Squad Rush's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Monster Box! ships an update fortnightly, Monster Squad Rush every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
