# Cipher Chase vs Escape Room

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cipher Chase at 100% against Escape Room's 33%. Cipher Chase also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 24) and ads (none vs shown). Escape Room's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 2.5) and ratings volume (52 vs 2). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Escape Room sells 24 one-off in-app purchases. Cipher Chase asks for nothing beyond the download.

Escape Room holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Escape Room has 52 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Cipher Chase's written reviews are positive against 33% of Escape Room's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cipher Chase ships an update every 2 days, Escape Room every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
