# ABC Mysteriez vs Mars Mystery

The clearest difference is rating: Mars Mystery at 4.5 against ABC Mysteriez's 3.2. Mars Mystery also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 33%) and ratings volume (620 vs 26). ABC Mysteriez's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 11 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ABC Mysteriez sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Mars Mystery sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mars Mystery holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mars Mystery has 620 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of ABC Mysteriez's written reviews are positive against 64% of Mars Mystery's.

ABC Mysteriez ships an update every 3 months, Mars Mystery every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
