# Ascension vs ENYO

The clearest difference is ratings volume: ENYO at 436 against Ascension's 6. ENYO also leads on update cadence (every 6 months vs every 19 months). Ascension's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 84%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ascension sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and ENYO sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Ascension against 4.7 for ENYO. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ENYO has 436 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Ascension's written reviews are positive against 84% of ENYO's.

Ascension ships an update every 19 months, ENYO every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
