# Demolition 3D vs Kill the Dummy

The clearest difference is rating: Kill the Dummy at 4.5 against Demolition 3D's 3.7. Kill the Dummy also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months). Demolition 3D's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Demolition 3D sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Kill the Dummy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Kill the Dummy holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.3K and 2.1K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Demolition 3D's written reviews are positive against 47% of Kill the Dummy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Demolition 3D ships an update every 7 months, Kill the Dummy fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
