# Gasketball™ vs Slash! Hero

The clearest difference is rating: Slash! Hero at 4.6 against Gasketball™'s 4.1. Slash! Hero also leads on review sentiment (92% vs 75%) and device support (3 vs 1). Gasketball™'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gasketball™ sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Slash! Hero sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Slash! Hero holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gasketball™ has 1.6K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Gasketball™'s written reviews are positive against 92% of Slash! Hero's.

Gasketball™ ships an update every 10 days, Slash! Hero every 4 months. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
