# Devil Shard vs Bullet'nWall

The clearest difference is rating: Bullet'nWall at 5.0 against Devil Shard's 4.4. Bullet'nWall also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6). Devil Shard's advantage is ratings volume (45 vs 4) and price ($1.99 vs $3.99). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Devil Shard costs $1.99 and Bullet'nWall $3.99 up front. Devil Shard sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Bullet'nWall asks for nothing beyond the download.

Bullet'nWall holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Devil Shard has 45 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Devil Shard's written reviews are positive against 75% of Bullet'nWall'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 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 11, 2026 respectively.
