# Hero Zero vs Wombat

The clearest difference is update cadence: Wombat at weekly against Hero Zero's monthly. Wombat also leads on ratings volume (1.7K vs 256) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hero Zero sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Wombat sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Hero Zero against 4.7 for Wombat. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wombat has 1.7K ratings behind it against 256, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 56% of Hero Zero's written reviews are positive against 53% of Wombat's.

Hero Zero ships an update monthly, Wombat weekly. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
