# Guildmaker Tycoon vs Dojo Tycoon

The clearest difference is rating: Dojo Tycoon at 4.5 against Guildmaker Tycoon's 3.7. Dojo Tycoon also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). Guildmaker Tycoon's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Guildmaker Tycoon sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Dojo Tycoon sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dojo Tycoon holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Guildmaker Tycoon has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Guildmaker Tycoon ships an update every 3 weeks, Dojo Tycoon every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
