Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Smash Ball! at 4.7 against Squad Busters's 4.5. Squad Busters's advantage is ratings volume (138K vs 14K) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Squad Busters sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and Smash Ball! sells 19 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Smash Ball! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Squad Busters has 138K ratings behind it against 14K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Squad Busters's written reviews are positive against 40% of Smash Ball!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Squad Busters ships an update weekly, Smash Ball! every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
