# June's Journey vs Mystery Files

The clearest difference is ratings volume: June's Journey at 328K against Mystery Files's 6K. June's Journey also leads on chart position (#14 vs #197). Mystery Files's advantage is review sentiment (58% vs 42%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. June's Journey sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and Mystery Files sells 20 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for June's Journey against 4.6 for Mystery Files. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: June's Journey has 328K ratings behind it against 6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 42% of June's Journey's written reviews are positive against 58% of Mystery Files's.

June's Journey ships an update every 2 weeks, Mystery Files fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
