# Smash Hit vs Square Heroes

The clearest difference is rating: Smash Hit at 4.6 against Square Heroes's 3.7. Smash Hit also leads on ratings volume (109K vs 6) and chart position (#111 vs unranked). Square Heroes's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smash Hit sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Square Heroes sells 2 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 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smash Hit has 109K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Smash Hit's written reviews are positive against 100% of Square Heroes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Smash Hit ships an update every 2 months, Square Heroes every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
