# RiftRPG vs Sword Origin

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sword Origin at 100% against RiftRPG's 50%. Sword Origin also leads on ads (none vs shown). RiftRPG's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 1.8). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RiftRPG sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Sword Origin sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RiftRPG holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 1.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of RiftRPG's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sword Origin's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
