Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Carrion at Free against Terraria's $4.99. Carrion also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (11.2 vs 13.0). Terraria's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (48K vs 1.8K). On rating, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Carrion is free to download; Terraria costs $4.99 up front. Carrion sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Terraria asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Terraria against 4.4 for Carrion. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Terraria has 48K ratings behind it against 1.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 74% of Terraria's written reviews are positive against 70% of Carrion's.
Terraria ships an update every 3 weeks, Carrion every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 19, 2026.
