# Dungeons & Such vs The Fool's Steps

The clearest difference is ads: The Fool's Steps at none against Dungeons & Such's shown. The Fool's Steps also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). Dungeons & Such's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dungeons & Such sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and The Fool's Steps sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Fool's Steps holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dungeons & Such has 1.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of Dungeons & Such's written reviews are positive against 100% of The Fool's Steps's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
