Verdict

The call

Catapult King and Mouse Trap both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of Catapult King's written reviews are positive against 58% of Mouse Trap's. Catapult King also leads on price ($0.99 vs $3.99) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 11.0). Mouse Trap's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). On rating, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mouse Trap holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 590 and 876 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Catapult King's written reviews are positive against 58% of Mouse Trap's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Catapult King ships an update every 4 months, Mouse Trap weekly. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
