Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Guidus at 4.8 against Dragon Slayer's 3.5. Guidus also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 45%) and ratings volume (3K vs 17). Dragon Slayer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Dragon Slayer sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Guidus sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Guidus holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Guidus has 3K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 45% of Dragon Slayer's written reviews are positive against 73% of Guidus's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
