Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Backrooms Union Multiplayer at 4.6 against The Backrooms experience's 3.8. Backrooms Union Multiplayer also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 16 months) and ratings volume (3.4K vs 72). The Backrooms experience's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 50%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Backrooms experience sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Backrooms Union Multiplayer sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Backrooms Union Multiplayer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backrooms Union Multiplayer has 3.4K ratings behind it against 72, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of The Backrooms experience's written reviews are positive against 50% of Backrooms Union Multiplayer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The Backrooms experience ships an update every 16 months, Backrooms Union Multiplayer every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
