Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Haunted Planet at Free against Azkend's $2.99. Haunted Planet also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Azkend's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 69%) and ratings volume (16 vs 2). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Haunted Planet holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Azkend has 16 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Azkend's written reviews are positive against 69% of Haunted Planet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
