# Stick Hero vs Go Plane

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Stick Hero at 73% against Go Plane's 44%. Go Plane's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (73K vs 11K). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stick Hero sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Go Plane sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Go Plane holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Go Plane has 73K ratings behind it against 11K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Stick Hero's written reviews are positive against 44% of Go Plane'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, Go Plane every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
