Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EDGE Extended at none against Monument Valley's 1. EDGE Extended also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 81%) and price ($2.99 vs $3.99). Monument Valley's advantage is ratings volume (17K vs 117) and chart position (#7 vs unranked). On rating, update cadence, ads and device support 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
EDGE Extended costs $2.99 and Monument Valley $3.99 up front. Monument Valley sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. EDGE Extended asks for nothing beyond the download.
Monument Valley holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monument Valley has 17K ratings behind it against 117, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of EDGE Extended's written reviews are positive against 81% of Monument Valley's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
EDGE Extended ships an update every 3 months, Monument Valley every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
