# Hitman GO vs Human Resource Machine

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Human Resource Machine at none against Hitman GO's 10. Human Resource Machine also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Hitman GO's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and price ($2.49 vs $4.99). On review sentiment, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Hitman GO costs $2.49 and Human Resource Machine $4.99 up front. Hitman GO sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Human Resource Machine asks for nothing beyond the download.

Hitman GO holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hitman GO has 2.1K ratings behind it against 416, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Hitman GO's written reviews are positive against 80% of Human Resource Machine's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hitman GO ships an update every 3 months, Human Resource Machine every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
