# Infinite Borders vs Epic War

The clearest difference is rating: Epic War at 4.7 against Infinite Borders's 2.6. Epic War also leads on ratings volume (426 vs 72) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). Infinite Borders's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Infinite Borders sells 18 one-off in-app purchases and Epic War sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Epic War holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Epic War has 426 ratings behind it against 72, so its average is the more settled of the two.
