# Catalyst Black vs Cyber Realm

The clearest difference is rating: Catalyst Black at 4.5 against Cyber Realm's 3.8. Catalyst Black also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 25). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Catalyst Black sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Cyber Realm sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Catalyst Black holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Catalyst Black has 1.8K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 50% and 50% positive.

Catalyst Black ships an update every 5 days, Cyber Realm every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
