# Everdell vs InkcasteR

The clearest difference is price: InkcasteR at Free against Everdell's $9.99. Everdell's advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 58%) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 236). On rating, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

InkcasteR is free to download; Everdell costs $9.99 up front. Everdell sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and InkcasteR sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 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 — 4.8 for Everdell against 4.7 for InkcasteR. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Everdell has 2.7K ratings behind it against 236, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 76% of Everdell's written reviews are positive against 58% of InkcasteR's.

Everdell ships an update every 3 weeks, InkcasteR fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 19, 2026.
