# REDCON vs Warlords Conquest

The clearest difference is ads: REDCON at none against Warlords Conquest's shown. REDCON also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 158). Warlords Conquest's advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 63%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. REDCON sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Warlords Conquest sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

REDCON holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: REDCON has 1.1K ratings behind it against 158, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of REDCON's written reviews are positive against 73% of Warlords Conquest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

REDCON ships an update monthly, Warlords Conquest every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
