# Paths & Danger vs Chat RPG

The clearest difference is rating: Paths & Danger at 3.6 against Chat RPG's 2.4. Paths & Danger also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). Chat RPG's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 20%) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Paths & Danger sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Chat RPG sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Paths & Danger holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 2.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Paths & Danger's written reviews are positive against 57% of Chat RPG's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Paths & Danger ships an update every 5 months, Chat RPG every 6 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
