# One Timer vs Superstar Hockey

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: One Timer at none against Superstar Hockey's 13. One Timer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Superstar Hockey's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 2) and chart position (#124 vs unranked). On price and rating there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Superstar Hockey sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. One Timer asks for nothing beyond the download.

One Timer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Superstar Hockey has 23K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

One Timer ships an update weekly, Superstar Hockey every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
