# Advanced Maze vs Alien Guest

The clearest difference is rating: Alien Guest at 4.2 against Advanced Maze's 3.6. Advanced Maze's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Advanced Maze sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Alien Guest sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Alien Guest holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Advanced Maze has 30 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Advanced Maze ships an update every 4 days, Alien Guest every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
