Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Wizard Swipe at 85% against The Demonized's 48%. Wizard Swipe also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.1 vs 15.0). The Demonized's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (3.7K vs 437). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wizard Swipe sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and The Demonized sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

The Demonized holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Demonized has 3.7K ratings behind it against 437, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Wizard Swipe's written reviews are positive against 48% of The Demonized'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 weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
