# Frost Legends vs Epic Shadow

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Frost Legends at 100% against Epic Shadow's 36%. Frost Legends also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Epic Shadow's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (95 vs 10). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Frost Legends sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Epic Shadow sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Frost Legends holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Epic Shadow has 95 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Frost Legends's written reviews are positive against 36% of Epic Shadow's.

Frost Legends ships an update monthly, Epic Shadow every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
