# Stage Dive Legends vs PAKO 3

The clearest difference is rating: Stage Dive Legends at 4.5 against PAKO 3's 4.0. Stage Dive Legends also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (54% vs 43%). PAKO 3's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 29 months) and ratings volume (920 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stage Dive Legends sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and PAKO 3 sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Stage Dive Legends holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PAKO 3 has 920 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of Stage Dive Legends's written reviews are positive against 43% of PAKO 3's.

Stage Dive Legends ships an update every 29 months, PAKO 3 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
