# Spirit Legends vs Project Dark

The clearest difference is rating: Spirit Legends at 4.7 against Project Dark's 3.4. Spirit Legends also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 54%) and ratings volume (680 vs 16). Project Dark's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 7 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spirit Legends sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Project Dark sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spirit Legends holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spirit Legends has 680 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Spirit Legends's written reviews are positive against 54% of Project Dark's.

Spirit Legends ships an update every 7 months, Project Dark monthly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
