# Halloween Monster Detector vs Ghost detector

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Halloween Monster Detector at 100% against Ghost detector's 0%. Halloween Monster Detector also leads on update cadence (every 11 months vs every 43 months). Ghost detector's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (150 vs 9). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Halloween Monster Detector sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Ghost detector sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ghost detector holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ghost detector has 150 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Halloween Monster Detector's written reviews are positive against 0% of Ghost detector's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Halloween Monster Detector ships an update every 11 months, Ghost detector every 43 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
