# Micro RPG vs Pizza Hero

The clearest difference is update cadence: Pizza Hero at every 3 days against Micro RPG's weekly. Pizza Hero also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Micro RPG's advantage is ratings volume (7.8K vs 1.5K). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Micro RPG sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and Pizza Hero sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Micro RPG against 4.7 for Pizza Hero. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Micro RPG has 7.8K ratings behind it against 1.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 67% of Micro RPG's written reviews are positive against 71% of Pizza Hero's.

Micro RPG ships an update weekly, Pizza Hero every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
