# Sniper Monkey vs Go Ape Ship!

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sniper Monkey at 100% against Go Ape Ship!'s 54%. Sniper Monkey also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.0). Go Ape Ship!'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sniper Monkey sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Go Ape Ship! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sniper Monkey holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Go Ape Ship! has 130 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Sniper Monkey's written reviews are positive against 54% of Go Ape Ship!'s.

Sniper Monkey ships an update every 3 weeks, Go Ape Ship! every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
