# LEGO® Marvel Super Heroes vs Iron Prototype

The clearest difference is price: Iron Prototype at Free against LEGO® Marvel Super Heroes's $4.99. Iron Prototype also leads on rating (3.9 vs 3.4) and update cadence (monthly vs every 11 months). LEGO® Marvel Super Heroes's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3.6K vs 21). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Iron Prototype is free to download; LEGO® Marvel Super Heroes costs $4.99 up front. LEGO® Marvel Super Heroes sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Iron Prototype sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Iron Prototype holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LEGO® Marvel Super Heroes has 3.6K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of LEGO® Marvel Super Heroes's written reviews are positive against 71% of Iron Prototype's.

LEGO® Marvel Super Heroes ships an update every 11 months, Iron Prototype monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
