# Hammer the Hit vs Supernova

The clearest difference is rating: Hammer the Hit at 5.0 against Supernova's 4.5. Hammer the Hit also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 78%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Supernova's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hammer the Hit sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Supernova sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hammer the Hit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Supernova has 77 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Hammer the Hit's written reviews are positive against 78% of Supernova's.

Hammer the Hit ships an update every 4 weeks, Supernova every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
