The Demonized is free to download; Mecha Ace costs $5.99 up front. The Demonized sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Mecha Ace asks for nothing beyond the download.
The Demonized holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Demonized has 3.7K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Mecha Ace's written reviews are positive against 48% of The Demonized's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mecha Ace ships an update every 2 months, The Demonized weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
