# Eclipse vs my npc

The clearest difference is rating: Eclipse at 3.7 against my npc's 2.9. Eclipse also leads on review sentiment (66% vs 29%) and ratings volume (476 vs 20). my npc's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Eclipse sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and my npc sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Eclipse holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Eclipse has 476 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 66% of Eclipse's written reviews are positive against 29% of my npc's.

Eclipse ships an update weekly, my npc every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
