Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SawStop at none against Cannon Attack's 12. SawStop also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (50% vs 33%). Cannon Attack's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (11K vs 3). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cannon Attack sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. SawStop asks for nothing beyond the download.
Cannon Attack holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cannon Attack has 11K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of SawStop's written reviews are positive against 33% of Cannon Attack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SawStop ships an update every 7 months, Cannon Attack every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 11, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
