Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MindStep at none against Slash! Hero's 10. MindStep also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Slash! Hero's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 51 months) and review sentiment (92% vs 77%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Slash! Hero sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. MindStep asks for nothing beyond the download.
MindStep holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Slash! Hero has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Slash! Hero's written reviews are positive against 77% of MindStep's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Slash! Hero ships an update every 4 months, MindStep every 51 months. The most recent releases landed on June 10, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
