Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SaruTobi at 4.0 against Spellborne's 3.0. Spellborne's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. SaruTobi sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Spellborne asks for nothing beyond the download.
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.
SaruTobi ships an update every 3 weeks, Spellborne every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
