Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Creep Shock at none against Running Dino's 1. Creep Shock also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.9). Running Dino's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (4.1 vs 6.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads 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. Running Dino sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Creep Shock asks for nothing beyond the download.
Creep Shock holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 160 and 87 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Running Dino's written reviews are positive against 70% of Creep Shock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Running Dino ships an update fortnightly, Creep Shock every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
