Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Optical Inquisitor Zero at 90% against FINAL FANTASY VII EVER CRISIS's 47%. Optical Inquisitor Zero also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 13.0). FINAL FANTASY VII EVER CRISIS's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 7 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
FINAL FANTASY VII EVER CRISIS holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FINAL FANTASY VII EVER CRISIS has 19K ratings behind it against 2.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Optical Inquisitor Zero's written reviews are positive against 47% of FINAL FANTASY VII EVER CRISIS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Optical Inquisitor Zero ships an update every 7 months, FINAL FANTASY VII EVER CRISIS monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
