Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Dino Bash at none against Alien Path's shown. Dino Bash also leads on ratings volume (881 vs 196). Alien Path's advantage is review sentiment (92% vs 84%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Alien Path sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Dino Bash sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dino Bash holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 196 and 881 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Alien Path's written reviews are positive against 84% of Dino Bash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Alien Path ships an update every 6 weeks, Dino Bash every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
