# Masonry tribe vs Knives Crash

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Masonry tribe at none against Knives Crash's 7. Masonry tribe also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (88% vs 79%). Knives Crash's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Knives Crash sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Masonry tribe asks for nothing beyond the download.

Knives Crash holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Knives Crash has 1.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Masonry tribe's written reviews are positive against 79% of Knives Crash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Masonry tribe ships an update every 9 months, Knives Crash every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
