# Eternium vs Endless Wander

The clearest difference is ads: Eternium at none against Endless Wander's shown. Eternium also leads on ratings volume (64K vs 3.5K) and review sentiment (86% vs 78%). Endless Wander's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Eternium sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and Endless Wander sells 29 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Eternium against 4.8 for Endless Wander. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Eternium has 64K ratings behind it against 3.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 86% of Eternium's written reviews are positive against 78% of Endless Wander's.

Eternium ships an update fortnightly, Endless Wander every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 27, 2026.
