Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: King Smith at 253 against Sword Please's 4. King Smith also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Sword Please's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 79%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. King Smith sells 26 one-off in-app purchases and Sword Please sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
King Smith holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: King Smith has 253 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of King Smith's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sword Please's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
King Smith ships an update fortnightly, Sword Please every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and August 22, 2026 respectively.
