Love Esquire is a romantic-comedy visual novel/dating sim with a touch of old-school RPG combat. In this game, you're not a famous knight, but a good-for-nothing squire who's on a quest to find man's greatest pleasure. Getting the girl won't be easy though, since most of them are waaaay out of your league! So raise those stats, battle monsters, and unleash your full potential! FEATURES 5 Dateable Waifus – Love Esquire's heroines are not just pretty faces! Each have their own unique ambitions, backstories, plots, and dirty little secrets for you to uncover. Turn-based Combat – You may not be a decent squire, but you have a number of unconventional techniques to keep your needy knight alive. Taunt, cheer, heal, and loot your way to victory! Raise Stats – Git gud and become the ideal man by increasing your strength, charisma and intelligence. These traits not only affect your combat abilities, but also your relationships. Forge Relationships – Amp up your squirely charm by giving gifts and whispering sweet nothings to your waifu. Get those romance points high enough and they'll open up in more ways than one. Multiple Endings – What's waiting for your squire at the end of the journey? Be careful with those choices! Fully Voiced – Hear your waifus fully express their undying love for you!

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Heileen 3 at none against Love Esquire's shown. Heileen 3 also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 54%). Love Esquire's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 19 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model 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. Heileen 3 sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Love Esquire sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Love Esquire holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Love Esquire has 147 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Heileen 3's written reviews are positive against 54% of Love Esquire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Heileen 3 ships an update every 19 months, Love Esquire every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
