Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Endless Grades at 4.7 against Summoners War's 4.2. Endless Grades also leads on ratings volume (3.5K vs 235) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Summoners War's advantage is review sentiment (41% vs 27%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Summoners War sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Endless Grades sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Endless Grades holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Endless Grades has 3.5K ratings behind it against 235, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Summoners War's written reviews are positive against 27% of Endless Grades's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Summoners War ships an update monthly, Endless Grades fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
