# Shmuzy vs Celaverse

The clearest difference is monetization model: Celaverse at free against Shmuzy's free with in-app purchases. Shmuzy's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (17 vs 3). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shmuzy sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Celaverse sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Shmuzy against 5.0 for Celaverse. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shmuzy has 17 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Shmuzy ships an update every 11 days, Celaverse monthly. The most recent releases landed on June 4, 2026 and July 24, 2026 respectively.
