# ThumbZilla vs Kongfu Punch

The clearest difference is rating: ThumbZilla at 4.4 against Kongfu Punch's 3.8. ThumbZilla also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 13 months). Kongfu Punch's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (71% vs 60%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ThumbZilla sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Kongfu Punch asks for nothing beyond the download.

ThumbZilla holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ThumbZilla has 151 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of ThumbZilla's written reviews are positive against 71% of Kongfu Punch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ThumbZilla ships an update every 4 months, Kongfu Punch every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on August 21, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
