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. TAMAGO Monsters Returns sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Spooky Runner sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Spooky Runner holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 36 and 87 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of TAMAGO Monsters Returns's written reviews are positive against 73% of Spooky Runner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
