# De vs Maiden Academy

The clearest difference is rating: De at 4.7 against Maiden Academy's 2.0. De also leads on review sentiment (35% vs 17%) and ratings volume (35 vs 4). Maiden Academy's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. De sells 73 one-off in-app purchases and Maiden Academy sells 17 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

De holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: De has 35 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 35% of De's written reviews are positive against 17% of Maiden Academy's.

De ships an update every 3 weeks, Maiden Academy weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
