# Level Up! vs Levelup RPG

The clearest difference is update cadence: Levelup RPG at every 2 weeks against Level Up!'s every 4 months. Levelup RPG also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (373 vs 18). Level Up!'s advantage is review sentiment (81% vs 66%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Level Up! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Levelup RPG sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Levelup RPG holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Levelup RPG has 373 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Level Up!'s written reviews are positive against 66% of Levelup RPG's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Level Up! ships an update every 4 months, Levelup RPG every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 19, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
