Verdict

The call

Rat On A Skateboard and Vector Classic both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 92% of Rat On A Skateboard's written reviews are positive against 55% of Vector Classic's. Rat On A Skateboard also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). Vector Classic's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 224) and chart position (#7 vs unranked). On rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Vector Classic holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vector Classic has 3K ratings behind it against 224, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Rat On A Skateboard's written reviews are positive against 55% of Vector Classic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Rat On A Skateboard ships an update every 7 months, Vector Classic every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
