# TownsFolk vs Voidpet Dungeon

The clearest difference is ads: TownsFolk at none against Voidpet Dungeon's shown. TownsFolk also leads on device support (5 vs 3). Voidpet Dungeon's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (29K vs 3.3K). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TownsFolk sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Voidpet Dungeon sells 10 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 — 4.7 for TownsFolk against 4.8 for Voidpet Dungeon. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Voidpet Dungeon has 29K ratings behind it against 3.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 73% of TownsFolk's written reviews are positive against 75% of Voidpet Dungeon's.

TownsFolk ships an update every 2 weeks, Voidpet Dungeon every 3 days. Both last shipped on November 8, 2026.
