# Duskfall vs Aftermagic

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Duskfall at 86% against Aftermagic's 42%. Duskfall also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 393). Aftermagic's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Duskfall sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Aftermagic sells 41 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Duskfall holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Duskfall has 3.5K ratings behind it against 393, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of Duskfall's written reviews are positive against 42% of Aftermagic's.

Duskfall ships an update every 2 weeks, Aftermagic weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
