# Vmod vs Melon Smash!

The clearest difference is rating: Melon Smash! at 4.7 against Vmod's 3.8. Melon Smash! also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 1.4K). Vmod's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 41) and review sentiment (63% vs 36%). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Melon Smash! sells 41 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per 7 days. Vmod asks for nothing beyond the download.

Melon Smash! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Melon Smash! has 12K ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Vmod's written reviews are positive against 36% of Melon Smash!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Vmod ships an update fortnightly, Melon Smash! monthly. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
