Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Death Worm™ at 58K against Avoooid! Hero's 20. Death Worm™ also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and chart position (#169 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Death Worm™ sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Avoooid! Hero sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Death Worm™ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Death Worm™ has 58K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Death Worm™'s written reviews are positive against 84% of Avoooid! Hero's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Death Worm™ ships an update monthly, Avoooid! Hero every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
