# Fame and Fortune vs Runes

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Runes at 83% against Fame and Fortune's 30%. Runes also leads on rating (4.5 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (576 vs 1). Fame and Fortune's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fame and Fortune sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Runes sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Runes holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Runes has 576 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 30% of Fame and Fortune's written reviews are positive against 83% of Runes's.

Fame and Fortune ships an update every 3 weeks, Runes every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
