Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Serania at none against Wizard's Choice's shown. Serania also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 weeks) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 12.0). Wizard's Choice's advantage is ratings volume (919 vs 157). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases 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
Both are free to download. Wizard's Choice sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Serania 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 — 4.6 for Wizard's Choice against 4.6 for Serania. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wizard's Choice has 919 ratings behind it against 157, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 87% of Wizard's Choice's written reviews are positive against 83% of Serania's.
Wizard's Choice ships an update every 4 weeks, Serania every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
