Pick Gacha Life if
You want the simple original with Life Mode, the eight mini-games and an easy Studio. It also runs on older phones and old iPhones, since it needs only iOS 8.0. Get the Gacha Life APK for Android or see our iPhone guide.
Pick Gacha Club if
You want more characters and a battle mode with units and pets. Its listing says it has no in-app purchases, but it is rated 12+ on Google Play for mild swearing. Get it from Google Play.
Pick Gacha Life 2 if
You want the biggest character library, 300 slots and scenes with up to 16 characters. It needs a newer phone, such as an iPhone on iOS 16.1 or later. Get it from Google Play or the App Store.
Characters do not move between the three games. Each one saves its own characters on your device. You can install all three at the same time.
