# Parallel vs Maiden TCG

The clearest difference is rating: Parallel at 4.9 against Maiden TCG's 4.3. Parallel also leads on review sentiment (95% vs 57%) and ratings volume (35 vs 3). Maiden TCG's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Parallel sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Maiden TCG sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Parallel holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Parallel has 35 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 95% of Parallel's written reviews are positive against 57% of Maiden TCG's.

Parallel ships an update every 3 weeks, Maiden TCG every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
