Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cross Shooter at 4.5 against Overpaint's 3.8. Cross Shooter also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Overpaint's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (62% vs 50%). 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. Overpaint sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Cross Shooter asks for nothing beyond the download.
Cross Shooter holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Overpaint has 133 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Cross Shooter's written reviews are positive against 62% of Overpaint's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cross Shooter ships an update fortnightly, Overpaint every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
