# Solo Knight vs Hyper Dungeon

The clearest difference is ads: Solo Knight at none against Hyper Dungeon's shown. Solo Knight also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 50%) and ratings volume (445 vs 40). Hyper Dungeon's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solo Knight sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and Hyper Dungeon sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Solo Knight against 4.7 for Hyper Dungeon. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solo Knight has 445 ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 78% of Solo Knight's written reviews are positive against 50% of Hyper Dungeon's.

Solo Knight ships an update monthly, Hyper Dungeon every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
