The clearest difference is rating: Castlevania at 3.9 against Slaps And Beans's 3.5. Castlevania also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 11) and chart position (#10 vs unranked). Slaps And Beans's advantage is update cadence (every 11 months vs every 29 months) and review sentiment (67% vs 54%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Castlevania costs $2.99 and Slaps And Beans $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Castlevania holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Castlevania has 1.8K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Castlevania's written reviews are positive against 67% of Slaps And Beans's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Castlevania ships an update every 29 months, Slaps And Beans every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
