Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Hitman GO at 4.7 against Threes!'s 4.0. Hitman GO also leads on price ($4.99 vs $5.99). Threes!'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On review sentiment, ratings volume, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hitman GO holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2.1K and 3K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Hitman GO's written reviews are positive against 79% of Threes!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hitman GO ships an update every 3 months, Threes! every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
