# Team Awesome vs Smash Champs

The clearest difference is ads: Team Awesome at none against Smash Champs's shown. Team Awesome also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 66%) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 12.2). Smash Champs's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 206). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Team Awesome sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Smash Champs sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Smash Champs holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smash Champs has 1.2K ratings behind it against 206, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Team Awesome's written reviews are positive against 66% of Smash Champs's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Team Awesome ships an update every 3 months, Smash Champs every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
