# DungeonSquad vs Bird Dash

The clearest difference is price: Bird Dash at Free against DungeonSquad's $4.99. DungeonSquad's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (610 vs 1). On rating, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Bird Dash is free to download; DungeonSquad costs $4.99 up front. DungeonSquad sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and Bird Dash sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bird Dash holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DungeonSquad has 610 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
