Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Everbound at none against Hero Tale's shown. Everbound also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 65%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Hero Tale's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (603 vs 22). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hero Tale sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Everbound sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Hero Tale holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hero Tale has 603 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Hero Tale's written reviews are positive against 80% of Everbound's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hero Tale ships an update every 5 weeks, Everbound fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
