# The Weapon King vs Re

The clearest difference is ads: The Weapon King at none against Re's shown. The Weapon King also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Re's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (513 vs 48). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Weapon King sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Re sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Re holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Re has 513 ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of The Weapon King's written reviews are positive against 82% of Re's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

The Weapon King ships an update weekly, Re every 10 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
