The Stupid Zombies return in a 4th installment of the popular series. By now you should know the drill: Bounce bullets off walls and kill all the zombies in each level. Some setups are more obvious than others, but you can’t knock the stupid out of the zombie without the occasional brainy puzzle. A variety of missions will get you accustomed to different weapons. Collect coins in each level to unlock new heroes. If you feel extra fancy you can join the VIP mode to shoot groovy jackpot blocks for extra earnings and enjoy other goodies. It’s payback time!

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Stupid Zombies 4 at free with in-app purchases against Monster Dash's subscription. Stupid Zombies 4 also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.4). Monster Dash's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume 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
Both are free to download. Monster Dash sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Stupid Zombies 4 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Stupid Zombies 4 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2.1K and 2.8K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Monster Dash's written reviews are positive against 57% of Stupid Zombies 4's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Monster Dash ships an update every 3 weeks, Stupid Zombies 4 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
