ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SaruTobi holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spellborne has 15 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of SaruTobi's written reviews are positive against 70% of Spellborne's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SaruTobi ships an update every 3 weeks, Spellborne every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
