Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cannon Shot! at 4.6 against Boxed In's 3.6. Cannon Shot! also leads on ratings volume (79K vs 610). Boxed In's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 36%) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Boxed In sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Cannon Shot! sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Cannon Shot! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cannon Shot! has 79K ratings behind it against 610, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Boxed In's written reviews are positive against 36% of Cannon Shot!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
