Verdict
The clearest difference is price: RPD at Free against Dungeon Defense's $0.99. RPD also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). Dungeon Defense's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (701 vs 4). On rating, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
RPD is free to download; Dungeon Defense costs $0.99 up front. Dungeon Defense sells 18 one-off in-app purchases and RPD sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
RPD holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dungeon Defense has 701 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Dungeon Defense's written reviews are positive against 80% of RPD's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dungeon Defense ships an update every 3 weeks, RPD every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
