# Vampires vs Vampire Story

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Vampire Story at 84% against Vampires's 27%. Vampire Story also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.7) and ratings volume (3.3K vs 96). Vampires's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 7 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vampires sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Vampire Story sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Vampire Story holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vampire Story has 3.3K ratings behind it against 96, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 27% of Vampires's written reviews are positive against 84% of Vampire Story's.

Vampires ships an update monthly, Vampire Story every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
