# Monster Dash vs Robot Fly

The clearest difference is rating: Robot Fly at 5.0 against Monster Dash's 4.4. Robot Fly also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Monster Dash's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 2) and review sentiment (62% vs 50%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Monster Dash sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Robot Fly sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Robot Fly holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monster Dash has 2.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Monster Dash's written reviews are positive against 50% of Robot Fly'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, Robot Fly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
