# Infinite Stairs vs AXIS

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Infinite Stairs at 1.6K against AXIS's 55. Infinite Stairs also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 72%). AXIS's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Infinite Stairs sells 22 one-off in-app purchases and AXIS sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Infinite Stairs holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Infinite Stairs has 1.6K ratings behind it against 55, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Infinite Stairs's written reviews are positive against 72% of AXIS's.

Infinite Stairs ships an update every 3 weeks, AXIS every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
