# Shuttle Shuffle vs Ninja Star Dojo

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ninja Star Dojo at none against Shuttle Shuffle's 11. Ninja Star Dojo also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Shuttle Shuffle's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 119 months) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shuttle Shuffle sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Ninja Star Dojo asks for nothing beyond the download.

Ninja Star Dojo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shuttle Shuffle has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Shuttle Shuffle ships an update every 3 months, Ninja Star Dojo every 119 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
