# SARCOPH vs Survival & Craft

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SARCOPH at none against Survival & Craft's 10. SARCOPH also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (81% vs 64%). Survival & Craft's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (34K vs 6K). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Survival & Craft sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 7 days. SARCOPH asks for nothing beyond the download.

Survival & Craft holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Survival & Craft has 34K ratings behind it against 6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of SARCOPH's written reviews are positive against 64% of Survival & Craft's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SARCOPH ships an update every 3 weeks, Survival & Craft every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
