.Decluster Zero holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Skull Dungeon has 300 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of .Decluster Zero's written reviews are positive against 100% of Skull Dungeon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
.Decluster Zero ships an update every 2 months, Skull Dungeon every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
