# Guildmasters vs Arcane Quest 4

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Arcane Quest 4 at 100% against Guildmasters's 50%. Arcane Quest 4 also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 weeks) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). Guildmasters's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (35 vs 7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Guildmasters sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Arcane Quest 4 sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Arcane Quest 4 holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Guildmasters has 35 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Guildmasters's written reviews are positive against 100% of Arcane Quest 4's.

Guildmasters ships an update every 6 weeks, Arcane Quest 4 every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
