Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dinosaur Assassin at 68% against Primal Hunter's 33%. Primal Hunter's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.6) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). 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. Dinosaur Assassin sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Primal Hunter sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Primal Hunter holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 40 and 125 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Dinosaur Assassin's written reviews are positive against 33% of Primal Hunter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dinosaur Assassin ships an update every 6 months, Primal Hunter every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
