Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tower Stack. at none against Stick Hero's 5. Tower Stack. also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (83% vs 73%). Stick Hero's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 90) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 16 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stick Hero sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Tower Stack. asks for nothing beyond the download.
Stick Hero holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stick Hero has 11K ratings behind it against 90, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Stick Hero's written reviews are positive against 83% of Tower Stack.'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Stick Hero ships an update every 4 months, Tower Stack. every 16 months. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
