# Doodle Devil™ Alchemy HD vs Hexapolis

The clearest difference is rating: Hexapolis at 4.6 against Doodle Devil™ Alchemy HD's 3.9. Hexapolis also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (2K vs 14). Doodle Devil™ Alchemy HD's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 34%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Doodle Devil™ Alchemy HD sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Hexapolis sells 41 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hexapolis holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hexapolis has 2K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Doodle Devil™ Alchemy HD's written reviews are positive against 34% of Hexapolis's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Doodle Devil™ Alchemy HD ships an update every 4 months, Hexapolis every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
