# Mob Era vs Slide & Smash

The clearest difference is update cadence: Slide & Smash at every 5 days against Mob Era's fortnightly. Mob Era's advantage is ratings volume (3.2K vs 338) and review sentiment (30% vs 21%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mob Era sells 26 one-off in-app purchases and Slide & Smash sells 17 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 Mob Era against 4.5 for Slide & Smash. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mob Era has 3.2K ratings behind it against 338, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 30% of Mob Era's written reviews are positive against 21% of Slide & Smash's.

Mob Era ships an update fortnightly, Slide & Smash every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
