# Transformers vs DC

Transformers and DC both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 68% of Transformers's written reviews are positive against 32% of DC's. DC's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and chart position (#29 vs unranked). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Transformers sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and DC sells 10 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 Transformers against 4.7 for DC. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 35K and 26K respectively. Written reviews are what separate them: 68% of Transformers's written reviews are positive against 32% of DC's.

Transformers ships an update every 6 weeks, DC fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
