# Hokm vs Backgammon Legends

The clearest difference is rating: Backgammon Legends at 4.5 against Hokm's 3.1. Backgammon Legends also leads on ratings volume (45K vs 420) and chart position (#108 vs unranked). Hokm's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Backgammon Legends sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Hokm asks for nothing beyond the download.

Backgammon Legends holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backgammon Legends has 45K ratings behind it against 420, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 16% of Hokm's written reviews are positive against 17% of Backgammon Legends's.
