# Crystal Legends vs Covenant

The clearest difference is ads: Crystal Legends at none against Covenant's shown. Crystal Legends also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 51%). Covenant's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Crystal Legends sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and Covenant sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Covenant holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Covenant has 725 ratings behind it against 109, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Crystal Legends's written reviews are positive against 51% of Covenant's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Crystal Legends ships an update every 5 weeks, Covenant every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
