Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Doodle Army at monthly against Tank Hero's every 8 months. Tank Hero's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and chart position (#30 vs #119). On review sentiment, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases 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
Doodle Army costs $1.99 and Tank Hero $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Tank Hero holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.5K and 1.6K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Doodle Army's written reviews are positive against 80% of Tank Hero's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Doodle Army ships an update monthly, Tank Hero every 8 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
