# Haunted Planet vs Yestertide

The clearest difference is price: Haunted Planet at Free against Yestertide's $5.99. Haunted Planet also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Yestertide's advantage is ratings volume (77 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Haunted Planet is free to download; Yestertide costs $5.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Haunted Planet holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yestertide has 77 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Haunted Planet's written reviews are positive against 77% of Yestertide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
