Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Maxwell Gate at 100% against Stick War's 14%. Maxwell Gate also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Stick War's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Stick War holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stick War has 1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Maxwell Gate's written reviews are positive against 14% of Stick War's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Maxwell Gate ships an update every 10 months, Stick War every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
