Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: EXTOCIUM at none against Illuvium's shown. EXTOCIUM also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks). Illuvium's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (65 vs 4). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model 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
Both are free to download. EXTOCIUM sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Illuvium sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Illuvium holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Illuvium has 65 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of EXTOCIUM's written reviews are positive against 68% of Illuvium's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
EXTOCIUM ships an update every 3 days, Illuvium every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
