# The Escapee vs .Decluster Zero

The clearest difference is update cadence: .Decluster Zero at every 2 months against The Escapee's every 59 months. .Decluster Zero also leads on review sentiment (94% vs 72%) and ratings volume (16 vs 1). The Escapee's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and price ($2.99 vs $4.99). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

The Escapee costs $2.99 and .Decluster Zero $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

The Escapee holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: .Decluster Zero has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of The Escapee's written reviews are positive against 94% of .Decluster Zero's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

The Escapee ships an update every 59 months, .Decluster Zero every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 5, 2026.
