Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Jackal Squad at 4.6 against Heli Attack 3D's 3.9. Jackal Squad also leads on ratings volume (802 vs 137). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Jackal Squad sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and Heli Attack 3D sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Jackal Squad holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jackal Squad has 802 ratings behind it against 137, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Jackal Squad's written reviews are positive against 61% of Heli Attack 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Jackal Squad ships an update fortnightly, Heli Attack 3D every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
