# Merge Grabber vs Bullet Stack Run

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Merge Grabber at 15K against Bullet Stack Run's 118. Merge Grabber also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2). Bullet Stack Run's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (30% vs 19%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Merge Grabber sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Bullet Stack Run sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Merge Grabber holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Merge Grabber has 15K ratings behind it against 118, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Merge Grabber's written reviews are positive against 30% of Bullet Stack Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Merge Grabber ships an update every 3 weeks, Bullet Stack Run every 10 days. Both last shipped on September 29, 2026.
