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. Escape #4 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Escape asks for nothing beyond the download.
Escape holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Escape has 68 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 81% of Escape's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
