# Vector Classic vs Super Meat Boy Forever

The clearest difference is rating: Vector Classic at 4.9 against Super Meat Boy Forever's 3.9. Vector Classic also leads on ratings volume (2.8K vs 228) and chart position (#5 vs #104). Super Meat Boy Forever's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Vector Classic costs $0.99 and Super Meat Boy Forever $0.99 up front. Vector Classic sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Super Meat Boy Forever asks for nothing beyond the download.

Vector Classic holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vector Classic has 2.8K ratings behind it against 228, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Vector Classic's written reviews are positive against 57% of Super Meat Boy Forever's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Vector Classic ships an update every 4 months, Super Meat Boy Forever every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
