Alternatives to Brawl Stars
By App Store Tracker Editorial · Updated — live App Store data verified
The short version
Brawl Stars is Supercell's fast 3v3 and battle-royale brawler with collectible characters and quick matches. The closest game swaps are Squad Busters from the same studio and Brawlhalla, a free platform fighter with 100 million players and cross-play. Several picks are companion stat trackers and fan tools rather than games. The list ranks by embedding similarity and live App Store ratings.
The app you searched for
Supercell
People look for Brawl Stars alternatives when they want a fresh roster, a new battle format, or a fairer free-to-play feel. The picks here split into two groups: actual multiplayer brawler and fighting games you play, and companion apps that track your Brawl Stars stats, events, and brawler progress. We flag which is which so you do not download a stat tracker expecting a game. The real games here center on quick PvP battles with characters, skills, and ranked progression, much like Brawl Stars. We ranked these picks by embedding similarity to Brawl Stars' arena-brawler model, then weighed live App Store ratings and review counts so you can tell big titles from niche tools. All are free to play with in-app purchases, so check how each monetizes before you commit time to leveling up a character.
Why it's similar
Both are Supercell multiplayer games built around picking heroes, combining squad powers, and outlasting opponents in quick matches. They share studio polish and a collect-and-evolve loop.
How it differs
Squad Busters is a squad-collecting battle game where you merge units in a shrinking arena, a different format from Brawl Stars' 3v3 shooting brawls. With a 4.47 rating across 136,480 reviews it is newer and more chaotic-casual.
Why it's similar
Both revolve around Brawl Stars, with Brawlify tracking maps, modes, brawler recommendations, and trophy progression. It is built entirely around the game.
How it differs
Brawlify is a companion stat tool, not a game you play, so it informs your matches rather than letting you battle. It is paid with in-app purchases and has a 3.0 rating across only 2 reviews, an unproven utility rather than a Brawl Stars alternative.
Why it's similar
Both are fast multiplayer fighting games where skill and timing decide quick PvP matches against players worldwide. Each rewards reflexes and character mastery.
How it differs
Brawlhalla is a platform fighter with up to 8 players, 50+ Legends, and full cross-play, a Smash-style format rather than Brawl Stars' top-down arena shooting. With a 4.13 rating across 26,157 reviews it is a strong, different brawler.
Why it's similar
Both center on Brawl Stars, with this app tracking brawler progress, trophies, win rates, and upcoming events. It is tied directly to the game.
How it differs
Brawl Companion is a stat-tracking and news companion, not a playable game, so it supports your Brawl Stars sessions rather than replacing them. With a 4.46 rating across 165 reviews it is a niche helper tool.
Why it's similar
Both are built around Brawl Stars, with Brawl Insights offering player search, battle-log graphs, and detailed analysis. It exists to support the game.
How it differs
Brawl Insights is an analytics toolkit, not a brawler you play, so it cannot replace the gameplay itself. It is paid with in-app purchases and has no public ratings, an unproven companion rather than an alternative game.
Why it's similar
Both are for Brawl Stars fans, with Brawl Art letting you color, draw, and design custom brawler skins. It draws directly on the game's characters.
How it differs
Brawl Art is a fan-art and coloring studio, not a multiplayer game, so there is no battling at all. With a 4.45 rating across 1,730 reviews it is a creative app for fans rather than a Brawl Stars gameplay alternative.

Why it's similar
Both center on Brawl Stars characters and content, with Box Simulator letting fans simulate opening loot boxes. It is a fan companion to the game.
How it differs

Why it's similar
Both are tied to Brawl Stars, with Brawl Stats providing accurate personal stats, trophy and win/loss tracking, and event schedules. It serves the game directly.
How it differs

How it differs

Every app in our database carries a dense vector embedding derived from its title, subtitle, full description, and category metadata. To find apps similar to Brawl Stars, we compute cosine distance against every other app and surface the closest 60 candidates. The similarity score shown on each pick is 1 - distance/2 clamped to [0,1] — 100% means the embedding spaces are identical, 0% means orthogonal.
We then re-rank the candidate set using current App Store rating and review-count signals so a 4.8-star app with 100,000 reviews ranks above a 4.5-star app with 200 reviews even when their embedding distance is similar. Apps that haven't shipped an update in 12 months are filtered out before re-ranking.
The similarity cache is recomputed weekly. Live App Store data (rating, review count) is verified every 6 hours.
