# Twin Moons® vs Runes

The clearest difference is rating: Runes at 4.5 against Twin Moons®'s 4.2. Runes also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 74%). Twin Moons®'s advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (5.8K vs 575). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Twin Moons® sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Runes sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Runes holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Twin Moons® has 5.8K ratings behind it against 575, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of Twin Moons®'s written reviews are positive against 83% of Runes's.

Twin Moons® ships an update fortnightly, Runes every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
