Verdict

The call

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

EDGE Extended ships an update every 3 months, Monument Valley every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
