# Among Us! vs The Ghost

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Among Us! at 841K against The Ghost's 4.3K. Among Us! also leads on chart position (#6 vs #59). The Ghost's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Among Us! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and The Ghost sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Among Us! holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Among Us! has 841K ratings behind it against 4.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Among Us!'s written reviews are positive against 60% of The Ghost's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Among Us! ships an update monthly, The Ghost every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
