Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Janken Samurai at none against Missileer's 4. Janken Samurai also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). Missileer's advantage is review sentiment (72% vs 57%) and ratings volume (59 vs 14). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Janken Samurai holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 59 and 14 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Missileer's written reviews are positive against 57% of Janken Samurai's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Missileer ships an update every 6 weeks, Janken Samurai monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
