# Hershey Bears vs Monumental+

The clearest difference is rating: Monumental+ at 4.3 against Hershey Bears's 3.6. Monumental+ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3.3K vs 30). Hershey Bears's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Monumental+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Hershey Bears asks for nothing beyond the download.

Monumental+ holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monumental+ has 3.3K ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Hershey Bears's written reviews are positive against 21% of Monumental+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hershey Bears ships an update every 4 months, Monumental+ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
