# Advent vs Escape Titanic

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Advent at none against Escape Titanic's 2. Advent also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (47% vs 22%). Escape Titanic's advantage is rating (3.9 vs 3.6) and ratings volume (419 vs 14). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Escape Titanic sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Advent asks for nothing beyond the download.

Escape Titanic holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Escape Titanic has 419 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Advent's written reviews are positive against 22% of Escape Titanic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Advent ships an update every 3 months, Escape Titanic every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on September 7, 2026 and September 3, 2026 respectively.
