# Hearthstone vs Triple Fantasy

The clearest difference is rating: Triple Fantasy at 4.7 against Hearthstone's 4.1. Triple Fantasy also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 36%). Hearthstone's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (122K vs 192). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hearthstone sells 21 one-off in-app purchases and Triple Fantasy sells 44 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Triple Fantasy holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hearthstone has 122K ratings behind it against 192, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 36% of Hearthstone's written reviews are positive against 73% of Triple Fantasy's.

Hearthstone ships an update fortnightly, Triple Fantasy every 10 days. Both last shipped on September 29, 2026.
