# Dwarven Mint vs Mycotopia

The clearest difference is ads: Dwarven Mint at none against Mycotopia's shown. Dwarven Mint also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (9 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dwarven Mint sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Mycotopia sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Dwarven Mint against 5.0 for Mycotopia. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dwarven Mint has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Dwarven Mint ships an update every 3 weeks, Mycotopia every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
