Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Shrines Guide at 4.6 against TOTK Gears Guide's 4.1. Shrines Guide also leads on ratings volume (3.2K vs 8). TOTK Gears Guide's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and review sentiment (83% vs 72%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Shrines Guide holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shrines Guide has 3.2K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Shrines Guide's written reviews are positive against 83% of TOTK Gears Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Shrines Guide ships an update every 2 weeks, TOTK Gears Guide every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
