Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MONOPOLY GO! at none against Subway Surfers's shown. MONOPOLY GO! also leads on chart position (#1 vs #7). Subway Surfers's advantage is review sentiment (87% vs 63%). On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Subway Surfers sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and MONOPOLY GO! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MONOPOLY GO! holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3.9M and 3.9M respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Subway Surfers's written reviews are positive against 63% of MONOPOLY GO!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
