# Sisyphos vs Endless Wander

The clearest difference is rating: Endless Wander at 4.8 against Sisyphos's 4.1. Endless Wander also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (3.6K vs 389). Sisyphos's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sisyphos sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Endless Wander sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Endless Wander holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Endless Wander has 3.6K ratings behind it against 389, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Sisyphos's written reviews are positive against 78% of Endless Wander's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Sisyphos ships an update every 2 months, Endless Wander every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
