Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Nebulous.io at every 2 weeks against Warlings's every 17 months. Nebulous.io also leads on ratings volume (2.6K vs 62) and rating (4.1 vs 3.9). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Nebulous.io sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Warlings sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Nebulous.io holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nebulous.io has 2.6K ratings behind it against 62, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Nebulous.io's written reviews are positive against 57% of Warlings's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Nebulous.io ships an update every 2 weeks, Warlings every 17 months. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
