Kleptocrat is free to download; Arcane Tower costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Arcane Tower holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kleptocrat has 443 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Arcane Tower's written reviews are positive against 91% of Kleptocrat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Arcane Tower ships an update every 3 weeks, Kleptocrat fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
