# TFT vs Escape

The clearest difference is ads: TFT at none against Escape's shown. TFT also leads on chart position (#127 vs unranked). Escape's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TFT sells 19 one-off in-app purchases and Escape sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
