Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Eden at every 2 days against Survivalcraft's every 3 months. Eden also leads on price ($1.99 vs $3.99). Survivalcraft's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.6). On rating, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Eden costs $1.99 and Survivalcraft $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Eden holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2.1K and 2K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Eden's written reviews are positive against 79% of Survivalcraft's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Eden ships an update every 2 days, Survivalcraft every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
