# Banana Smash vs Ice Age Hunter

The clearest difference is price: Ice Age Hunter at Free against Banana Smash's $2.99. Ice Age Hunter also leads on update cadence (every 7 months vs every 33 months) and review sentiment (69% vs 50%). Banana Smash's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.

Ice Age Hunter is free to download; Banana Smash costs $2.99 up front. Ice Age Hunter sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Banana Smash asks for nothing beyond the download.

Banana Smash holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ice Age Hunter has 18 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Banana Smash's written reviews are positive against 69% of Ice Age Hunter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Banana Smash ships an update every 33 months, Ice Age Hunter every 7 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
