# .Decluster vs Fire Hero 2D

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: .Decluster at none against Fire Hero 2D's 10. .Decluster also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (86% vs 61%). Fire Hero 2D's advantage is ratings volume (45K vs 27) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fire Hero 2D sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. .Decluster asks for nothing beyond the download.

Fire Hero 2D holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fire Hero 2D has 45K ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of .Decluster's written reviews are positive against 61% of Fire Hero 2D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

.Decluster ships an update every 5 weeks, Fire Hero 2D monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
