# Escape #2 vs Escape

The clearest difference is rating: Escape at 4.5 against Escape #2's 4.0. Escape also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Escape #2's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 11 months) and review sentiment (71% vs 50%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Escape #2 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Escape sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Escape holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Escape #2 has 48 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Escape #2's written reviews are positive against 50% of Escape's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Escape #2 ships an update every 6 weeks, Escape every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
