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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Elastic Playground holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Elastic Playground has 3.1K ratings behind it against 173, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Elastic Playground's written reviews are positive against 85% of Slap Beat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
