# Splashin vs Manhunt

Splashin and Manhunt both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 98% of Splashin's written reviews are positive against 32% of Manhunt's. Splashin also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (260K vs 1.8K). Manhunt's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 11 days) and chart position (#7 vs #107). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Splashin sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.00 per 7 days and Manhunt sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Splashin holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Splashin has 260K ratings behind it against 1.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 98% of Splashin's written reviews are positive against 32% of Manhunt's.

Splashin ships an update every 11 days, Manhunt every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
