# Captain Smash vs Stack Smash

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Captain Smash at 90% against Stack Smash's 74%. Stack Smash's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and chart position (#91 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Captain Smash sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Stack Smash sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Stack Smash holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stack Smash has 41K ratings behind it against 5.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Captain Smash's written reviews are positive against 74% of Stack Smash'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 5 days. Both last shipped on October 19, 2026.
