Verdict

The call

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

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.
