Ruya costs $1.99 and Druid Tale $0.29 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Ruya holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ruya has 220 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Ruya's written reviews are positive against 100% of Druid Tale's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ruya ships an update every 2 months, Druid Tale every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
