Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cruel World at none against Medallion's 1. Cruel World also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (929 vs 57). Medallion's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (33% vs 20%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Medallion sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Cruel World asks for nothing beyond the download.
Cruel World holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cruel World has 929 ratings behind it against 57, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Cruel World's written reviews are positive against 33% of Medallion's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cruel World ships an update every 3 months, Medallion every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
