Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nozoku Rush at none against Hexiled's 1. Nozoku Rush also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and price ($1.99 vs $3.99). Hexiled's advantage is review sentiment (90% vs 58%) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 39 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Nozoku Rush holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hexiled has 416 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Nozoku Rush's written reviews are positive against 90% of Hexiled's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Nozoku Rush ships an update every 39 months, Hexiled every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
