# Raider vs Astral Fable

The clearest difference is rating: Astral Fable at 4.5 against Raider's 3.2. Astral Fable also leads on ads (none vs shown). Raider's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 16 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Raider sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Astral Fable sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Astral Fable holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.1K and 2.4K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Raider's written reviews are positive against 26% of Astral Fable's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Raider ships an update monthly, Astral Fable every 16 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
