# Clumsy Cat vs Downhill Smash

The clearest difference is rating: Downhill Smash at 4.8 against Clumsy Cat's 4.2. Downhill Smash also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (22K vs 743). Clumsy Cat's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (74% vs 41%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clumsy Cat sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Downhill Smash sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Downhill Smash holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Downhill Smash has 22K ratings behind it against 743, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Clumsy Cat's written reviews are positive against 41% of Downhill Smash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Clumsy Cat ships an update every 12 months, Downhill Smash every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
