# Infinite Borders vs Epic Age

The clearest difference is rating: Epic Age at 4.5 against Infinite Borders's 2.6. Epic Age also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 46%) and ratings volume (768 vs 72). Infinite Borders's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, update cadence, ads 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 Age sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Epic Age holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Epic Age has 768 ratings behind it against 72, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of Infinite Borders's written reviews are positive against 60% of Epic Age's.

Infinite Borders ships an update monthly, Epic Age every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
