# Orecraft vs Sword Please

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sword Please at 100% against Orecraft's 41%. Sword Please also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Orecraft's advantage is ratings volume (1K vs 4) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Orecraft sells 29 one-off in-app purchases and Sword Please sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Orecraft holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Orecraft has 1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Orecraft's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sword Please's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Orecraft ships an update every 8 days, Sword Please every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and August 22, 2026 respectively.
