# Slash! Hero vs KickZombie

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: KickZombie at none against Slash! Hero's 11. KickZombie also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Slash! Hero's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 56 months) and review sentiment (92% vs 75%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Slash! Hero sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. KickZombie asks for nothing beyond the download.

KickZombie holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Slash! Hero has 14 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Slash! Hero's written reviews are positive against 75% of KickZombie'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, KickZombie every 56 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
