# Smash ► vs Micro Breaker

The clearest difference is ads: Smash ► at none against Micro Breaker's shown. Smash ► also leads on iOS requirement (8.4 vs 12.0). Micro Breaker's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 13 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smash ► sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Micro Breaker sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Micro Breaker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Micro Breaker has 11K ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Smash ►'s written reviews are positive against 74% of Micro Breaker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Smash ► ships an update every 13 months, Micro Breaker every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
