# Castle Pals vs Coromon

The clearest difference is rating: Coromon at 4.9 against Castle Pals's 3.9. Coromon also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 113). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Castle Pals sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Coromon sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Coromon holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Coromon has 3.5K ratings behind it against 113, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 66% of Castle Pals's written reviews are positive against 74% of Coromon's.

Castle Pals ships an update every 3 months, Coromon every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
