Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Antiquitas at 3.9 against Rubylands's 2.9. Rubylands's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Antiquitas sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Rubylands sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Antiquitas holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 2.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 54 and 33 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Antiquitas's written reviews are positive against 50% of Rubylands's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Antiquitas ships an update every 4 months, Rubylands every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
