Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Ms Holmes 4 at none against Spirits Chronicles's shown. Ms Holmes 4 also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 26%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). Spirits Chronicles's advantage is ratings volume (507 vs 6) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spirits Chronicles sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Ms Holmes 4 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Spirits Chronicles holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spirits Chronicles has 507 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Spirits Chronicles's written reviews are positive against 50% of Ms Holmes 4's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Spirits Chronicles ships an update every 4 months, Ms Holmes 4 every 9 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
