ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Romopolis holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Antiquitas has 55 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Antiquitas's written reviews are positive against 0% of Romopolis's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Antiquitas ships an update every 4 months, Romopolis every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
