Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Monkey Ropes at 4.6 against BombSquad Remote's 3.2. Monkey Ropes also leads on ratings volume (29K vs 585) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months). BombSquad Remote's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Monkey Ropes sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. BombSquad Remote asks for nothing beyond the download.
Monkey Ropes holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monkey Ropes has 29K ratings behind it against 585, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of BombSquad Remote's written reviews are positive against 48% of Monkey Ropes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BombSquad Remote ships an update every 5 months, Monkey Ropes every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
