Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Death 3d at Free against Widower's Sky's $0.99. Death 3d also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.4). Widower's Sky's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Death 3d holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widower's Sky has 35 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Widower's Sky's written reviews are positive against 0% of Death 3d's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
