Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: ThumbZilla at none against Escape #2's shown. ThumbZilla also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (150 vs 48). Escape #2's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (71% vs 60%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ThumbZilla sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Escape #2 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ThumbZilla holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 150 and 48 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of ThumbZilla's written reviews are positive against 71% of Escape #2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ThumbZilla ships an update every 4 months, Escape #2 every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
