Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Ninja Fishing at Free against Dino Rush's $1.99. Ninja Fishing also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (87% vs 78%). Dino Rush's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.3 vs 4.1). On ratings volume, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Ninja Fishing is free to download; Dino Rush costs $1.99 up front. Dino Rush sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Ninja Fishing sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dino Rush holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 406 and 1.1K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Dino Rush's written reviews are positive against 87% of Ninja Fishing's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Dino Rush ships an update every 3 months, Ninja Fishing every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
