# Superbrothers vs Loop Hero

The clearest difference is price: Loop Hero at Free against Superbrothers's $3.99. Loop Hero also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 23). Superbrothers's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Loop Hero is free to download; Superbrothers costs $3.99 up front. Loop Hero sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Superbrothers asks for nothing beyond the download.

Loop Hero holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Loop Hero has 3.9K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Superbrothers's written reviews are positive against 75% of Loop Hero's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Superbrothers ships an update every 5 months, Loop Hero every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
