Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Timber Squad at 100% against Jewel Knight's 57%. Jewel Knight's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.0) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timber Squad sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Jewel Knight sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Jewel Knight holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jewel Knight has 30 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Timber Squad's written reviews are positive against 57% of Jewel Knight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Timber Squad ships an update every 3 weeks, Jewel Knight every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
