# Deva TD vs Arcane Arena

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Deva TD at 70% against Arcane Arena's 22%. Arcane Arena's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (3K vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Deva TD sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Arcane Arena sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Arcane Arena holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arcane Arena has 3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Deva TD's written reviews are positive against 22% of Arcane Arena's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Deva TD ships an update weekly, Arcane Arena every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
