# Dark Summoner vs Faty's Different World

The clearest difference is ads: Faty's Different World at none against Dark Summoner's shown. Faty's Different World also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.6) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Dark Summoner's advantage is review sentiment (62% vs 33%) and ratings volume (289 vs 7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dark Summoner sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Faty's Different World sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Faty's Different World holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dark Summoner has 289 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Dark Summoner's written reviews are positive against 33% of Faty's Different World's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Dark Summoner ships an update every 3 months, Faty's Different World every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
