The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Monster Trainer at 54% against Monster Squad Rush's 31%. Monster Squad Rush's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (52K vs 3.4K). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Monster Squad Rush holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monster Squad Rush has 52K ratings behind it against 3.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of Monster Squad Rush's written reviews are positive against 54% of Monster Trainer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Monster Squad Rush ships an update every 2 months, Monster Trainer every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
