# Endless Nightmare 5 vs Exist

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Endless Nightmare 5 at 710 against Exist's 13. Exist's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (86% vs 72%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Endless Nightmare 5 sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Exist sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Endless Nightmare 5 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Endless Nightmare 5 has 710 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Endless Nightmare 5's written reviews are positive against 86% of Exist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Endless Nightmare 5 ships an update every 3 weeks, Exist every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
