Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Dungeon Sweeper Mobile at Free against Gambonanza's $5.99. Dungeon Sweeper Mobile also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 77%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Gambonanza's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 51 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Dungeon Sweeper Mobile is free to download; Gambonanza costs $5.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Gambonanza holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gambonanza has 2.9K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Dungeon Sweeper Mobile's written reviews are positive against 77% of Gambonanza's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dungeon Sweeper Mobile ships an update every 51 months, Gambonanza every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
