# Devil Eater vs Devil Book

The clearest difference is rating: Devil Book at 4.8 against Devil Eater's 4.4. Devil Book also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 157). Devil Eater's advantage is review sentiment (81% vs 58%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Devil Eater sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Devil Book sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Devil Book holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Devil Book has 1.3K ratings behind it against 157, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Devil Eater's written reviews are positive against 58% of Devil Book's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Devil Eater ships an update every 2 weeks, Devil Book every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
