# Guidus vs Doomdepths

The clearest difference is ads: Doomdepths at none against Guidus's shown. Doomdepths also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and review sentiment (82% vs 73%). Guidus's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (3K vs 474). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Guidus holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Guidus has 3K ratings behind it against 474, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Guidus's written reviews are positive against 82% of Doomdepths's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Guidus ships an update fortnightly, Doomdepths every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
