A comparison, not a ranking

Erstwhile versus other daily investing games

This table puts the daily investing game at erstwhile.io next to five neighbors. Mechanics come from each site plus Alldle. Play counts are Alldle’s alone. Empty cells mean the site did not publish the fact.

Blank session lengths mean no duration was published in the checked sources. Launch Day advertises two minutes on its own site (one publisher). Alldle’s two Investor listings currently lead to the same quiz introduction, counted once here. Source counts refer to independent publishers, not multiple pages on one site. All rows remain readable without JavaScript.

The only multi-year portfolio in the set

Erstwhile is the one row with a five-year window and a named index benchmark. Compoundle is the closest “one decision about a real company.” Daily Investor is the closest short daily habit, and it is a quiz, not a portfolio. Calibrate shares the $10,000 stake and a crash narrative, then asks for a side rather than a mix of chips.

I am not scoring a winner. Session length and scoring formulas are unpublished for most of these games, so a single “best” would be a guess. Two longer comparisons sit underneath: Compoundle and Daily Investor.

Questions

Why only two deep dives?

Those two names showed up as comparison queries. The others stay in the table until there is a reason to give them a page.
