# Clash Royale vs OVERDOX

Clash Royale and OVERDOX both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 71% of OVERDOX's written reviews are positive against 35% of Clash Royale's. Clash Royale's advantage is ratings volume (3.9M vs 4.3K) and chart position (#4 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clash Royale sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and OVERDOX sells 19 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Clash Royale against 4.7 for OVERDOX. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clash Royale has 3.9M ratings behind it against 4.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 35% of Clash Royale's written reviews are positive against 71% of OVERDOX's.

Clash Royale ships an update every 3 weeks, OVERDOX every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
