# Shoot Out vs Shoot & Hide

The clearest difference is update cadence: Shoot & Hide at every 3 weeks against Shoot Out's every 2 months. Shoot & Hide also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and chart position (#12 vs unranked). Shoot Out's advantage is ratings volume (92K vs 8.9K) and review sentiment (37% vs 28%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shoot Out sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Shoot & Hide sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. 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 Shoot Out against 4.7 for Shoot & Hide. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shoot Out has 92K ratings behind it against 8.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 37% of Shoot Out's written reviews are positive against 28% of Shoot & Hide's.

Shoot Out ships an update every 2 months, Shoot & Hide every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
