# Dad's Monster House vs Weird Store

The clearest difference is rating: Dad's Monster House at 4.7 against Weird Store's 4.0. Dad's Monster House also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (156 vs 5). Weird Store's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dad's Monster House sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Weird Store asks for nothing beyond the download.

Dad's Monster House holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dad's Monster House has 156 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Dad's Monster House's written reviews are positive against 100% of Weird Store's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Dad's Monster House ships an update every 2 months, Weird Store every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
