The Abandoned Planet is free to download; Night 9 costs $0.99 up front. The Abandoned Planet sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Night 9 asks for nothing beyond the download.
The Abandoned Planet holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Abandoned Planet has 964 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of The Abandoned Planet's written reviews are positive against 100% of Night 9's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The Abandoned Planet ships an update fortnightly, Night 9 every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
