# Skyward vs Perfect Tower

Skyward and Perfect Tower both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 82% of Skyward's written reviews are positive against 34% of Perfect Tower's. Skyward also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). Perfect Tower's advantage is ratings volume (20K vs 3.7K). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Skyward sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Perfect Tower sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Skyward against 4.5 for Perfect Tower. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Perfect Tower has 20K ratings behind it against 3.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 82% of Skyward's written reviews are positive against 34% of Perfect Tower's.

Skyward ships an update every 8 days, Perfect Tower every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 20, 2026.
