# Doodle Kingdom™ HD vs Everdell

The clearest difference is rating: Everdell at 4.8 against Doodle Kingdom™ HD's 4.0. Everdell also leads on ratings volume (2.9K vs 24) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). Doodle Kingdom™ HD's advantage is price ($1.99 vs $9.99). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Doodle Kingdom™ HD costs $1.99 and Everdell $9.99 up front. Doodle Kingdom™ HD sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Everdell sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Everdell holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Everdell has 2.9K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Doodle Kingdom™ HD's written reviews are positive against 76% of Everdell's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Doodle Kingdom™ HD ships an update every 4 months, Everdell every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
