# Goblin's Workshop vs Rumble Squad

The clearest difference is rating: Rumble Squad at 4.8 against Goblin's Workshop's 3.7. Rumble Squad also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (663 vs 9). Goblin's Workshop's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 54%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Goblin's Workshop sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Rumble Squad sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rumble Squad holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rumble Squad has 663 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Goblin's Workshop's written reviews are positive against 54% of Rumble Squad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Goblin's Workshop ships an update every 3 weeks, Rumble Squad weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
