# Paper Bride vs The Conjuring

The clearest difference is rating: Paper Bride at 4.7 against The Conjuring's 4.2. Paper Bride also leads on update cadence (every 5 months vs every 24 months) and ratings volume (413 vs 11). The Conjuring's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 91%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Paper Bride sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and The Conjuring sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Paper Bride holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paper Bride has 413 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Paper Bride's written reviews are positive against 100% of The Conjuring's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Paper Bride ships an update every 5 months, The Conjuring every 24 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
