# MeltLand vs Ghosted

The clearest difference is rating: Ghosted at 5.0 against MeltLand's 4.5. Ghosted also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). MeltLand's advantage is ratings volume (243 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MeltLand sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Ghosted sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ghosted holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MeltLand has 243 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

MeltLand ships an update fortnightly, Ghosted every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
