# Breach Protocol vs Hyrule Compendium

The clearest difference is price: Hyrule Compendium at Free against Breach Protocol's $1.99. Hyrule Compendium also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (412 vs 48). Breach Protocol's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and chart position (#174 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Hyrule Compendium is free to download; Breach Protocol costs $1.99 up front. Hyrule Compendium sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Breach Protocol asks for nothing beyond the download.

Hyrule Compendium holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hyrule Compendium has 412 ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Breach Protocol's written reviews are positive against 46% of Hyrule Compendium's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Breach Protocol ships an update every 8 days, Hyrule Compendium fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
