# Pixel Demolish vs Terra Smash

The clearest difference is rating: Pixel Demolish at 4.6 against Terra Smash's 3.1. Pixel Demolish also leads on ratings volume (15K vs 39) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). Terra Smash's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pixel Demolish sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Terra Smash sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pixel Demolish holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pixel Demolish has 15K ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Pixel Demolish's written reviews are positive against 29% of Terra Smash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pixel Demolish ships an update weekly, Terra Smash every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
