Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Pocket Rogues at 1K against Elder Heroes's 6. Pocket Rogues also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
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. Pocket Rogues sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Elder Heroes sells 23 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Pocket Rogues holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pocket Rogues has 1K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Pocket Rogues's written reviews are positive against 80% of Elder Heroes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pocket Rogues ships an update every 5 weeks, Elder Heroes every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
