Verdict

The call

Smash Hit and Stack both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 87% of Smash Hit's written reviews are positive against 53% of Stack's. Stack's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
