# Glory Ages vs Exist

The clearest difference is ads: Glory Ages at none against Exist's shown. Glory Ages also leads on ratings volume (9.2K vs 13). Exist's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Glory Ages sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Exist sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Glory Ages holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Glory Ages has 9.2K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Glory Ages's written reviews are positive against 86% of Exist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Glory Ages ships an update every 2 months, Exist every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
