# Meteon Run vs Cryptids

Meteon Run and Cryptids both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 93% of Cryptids's written reviews are positive against 50% of Meteon Run's. Cryptids also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (9 vs 1). Meteon Run's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Meteon Run sells 53 one-off in-app purchases and Cryptids sells 30 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Meteon Run against 5.0 for Cryptids. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cryptids has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 50% of Meteon Run's written reviews are positive against 93% of Cryptids's.

Meteon Run ships an update every 6 days, Cryptids every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 8, 2026.
