# DragonSpear vs DungeonSquad

The clearest difference is rating: DungeonSquad at 4.8 against DragonSpear's 4.6. DungeonSquad also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 4 weeks) and ratings volume (610 vs 58). DragonSpear's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 71%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

DragonSpear costs $4.99 and DungeonSquad $4.99 up front. DragonSpear sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and DungeonSquad sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DungeonSquad holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DungeonSquad has 610 ratings behind it against 58, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of DragonSpear's written reviews are positive against 71% of DungeonSquad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

DragonSpear ships an update every 4 weeks, DungeonSquad every 8 days. Both last shipped on October 27, 2026.
