# Dark Blades vs Everweave

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dark Blades at 100% against Everweave's 57%. Everweave's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (8.6K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dark Blades sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Everweave sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Everweave holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Everweave has 8.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Dark Blades's written reviews are positive against 57% of Everweave's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Dark Blades ships an update every 10 months, Everweave every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
