# Summon Masters vs Mini Tales

The clearest difference is rating: Mini Tales at 4.8 against Summon Masters's 1.9. Mini Tales also leads on review sentiment (56% vs 21%) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 84). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Summon Masters sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Mini Tales sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mini Tales holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mini Tales has 1.3K ratings behind it against 84, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 21% of Summon Masters's written reviews are positive against 56% of Mini Tales's.

Summon Masters ships an update weekly, Mini Tales fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
