Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Madness at Hobbsgate at none against Project VOID 2's shown. Madness at Hobbsgate also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 59%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0).

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. Madness at Hobbsgate sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Project VOID 2 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Project VOID 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Project VOID 2 has 194 ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Madness at Hobbsgate's written reviews are positive against 59% of Project VOID 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Madness at Hobbsgate ships an update every 10 months, Project VOID 2 every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
