# Smash Cops vs GRID™ Legends

The clearest difference is price: Smash Cops at $4.99 against GRID™ Legends's $14.99. Smash Cops also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 64%) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 17.0). GRID™ Legends's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, ratings volume, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Smash Cops costs $4.99 and GRID™ Legends $14.99 up front. Smash Cops sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. GRID™ Legends asks for nothing beyond the download.

GRID™ Legends holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 245 and 538 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Smash Cops's written reviews are positive against 64% of GRID™ Legends's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Smash Cops ships an update every 6 weeks, GRID™ Legends every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
