The rivals identified
By ALICTUS YAZILIM A.S.
This app directly mirrors the 'pre-sleep' and 'tingling ASMR' value proposition of this app with a focus on tactile simulation.
- Focuses on sand-slicing mechanics which provide a different tactile feedback loop than soap cutting
- Positions itself as a comprehensive studio environment rather than a single-activity slicing game

Key takeaways for Soap Cutting
Where is it heading?
The transition toward forced connectivity and high ad density is actively eroding the user base. Without a shift toward an ad-free model and improved technical stability, the app will continue to lose ground to rivals that provide a more reliable, varied ASMR experience.
- Forced connectivity requirements in recent updates prevent offline play, which alienates the core audience seeking stress relief.
- Persistent soap-rendering bugs prevent progress on specific levels, driving negative sentiment and reducing session length.
The SWOT
- Physics-based ASMR simulation provides a high-intent, repeatable relaxation loop
- Paid ad-free tier would capture revenue from users currently frustrated by ad density
Next best moves
Ship a paid ad-free purchase option because users explicitly request it to restore relaxation → increase LTV

Broad variety of ASMR triggers (available in ASMR Studio 3D but absent here)
Since the last report: The app's competitive position has deteriorated as the conflict between aggressive ad-supported monetization and user demand for offline, ad-free play intensifies. The lack of a paid tier is now identified as a primary barrier to revenue capture.
Bottom line
Introducing a paid ad-free tier would unlock revenue from the high-intent user base currently frustrated by ad density. This move would stabilize the rating decline and differentiate the experience from ad-heavy casual rivals.
