Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: EscapeStory at 4.0 against Escape #4's 3.4. EscapeStory also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (486 vs 5). Escape #4's advantage is monetization model (free vs paid) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases 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
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
EscapeStory holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EscapeStory has 486 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Escape #4's written reviews are positive against 74% of EscapeStory's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Escape #4 ships an update fortnightly, EscapeStory every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
