# Smash Fest! vs Fish Sort Puzzle

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Smash Fest! at 71% against Fish Sort Puzzle's 27%. Smash Fest! also leads on ratings volume (559K vs 17K). Fish Sort Puzzle's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smash Fest! sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Fish Sort Puzzle sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Fish Sort Puzzle holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smash Fest! has 559K ratings behind it against 17K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Smash Fest!'s written reviews are positive against 27% of Fish Sort Puzzle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Smash Fest! ships an update every 8 days, Fish Sort Puzzle fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
