# My Prison Arcade vs Perfect Diner

The clearest difference is rating: Perfect Diner at 4.7 against My Prison Arcade's 2.3. Perfect Diner also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 19%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Prison Arcade sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Perfect Diner sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Perfect Diner holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Perfect Diner has 130 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 19% of My Prison Arcade's written reviews are positive against 50% of Perfect Diner's.

My Prison Arcade ships an update every 2 weeks, Perfect Diner every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
