# zDungeon vs Wizardry Variants Daphne

The clearest difference is rating: Wizardry Variants Daphne at 4.7 against zDungeon's 3.7. Wizardry Variants Daphne also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (9.6K vs 3). zDungeon's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 77%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. zDungeon sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Wizardry Variants Daphne sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Wizardry Variants Daphne holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wizardry Variants Daphne has 9.6K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of zDungeon's written reviews are positive against 77% of Wizardry Variants Daphne's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

zDungeon ships an update every 10 months, Wizardry Variants Daphne weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 15, 2026 respectively.
