# Smash Hit vs Stack

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.

Both are free to download. Smash Hit sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Stack sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Smash Hit holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 109K and 59K respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 87% of Smash Hit's written reviews are positive against 53% of Stack's.

Smash Hit ships an update every 2 months, Stack every 10 days. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
