Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: HeroQuest at 54% against MechHitting's 33%. HeroQuest also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (220 vs 10). MechHitting's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MechHitting holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HeroQuest has 220 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of MechHitting's written reviews are positive against 54% of HeroQuest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MechHitting ships an update every 4 months, HeroQuest every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
