# Medieval Battlefields vs Commander

The clearest difference is rating: Medieval Battlefields at 4.5 against Commander's 4.1. Medieval Battlefields also leads on ratings volume (43 vs 13). Commander's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months) and review sentiment (75% vs 65%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Medieval Battlefields sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Commander sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Medieval Battlefields holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 43 and 13 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Medieval Battlefields's written reviews are positive against 75% of Commander's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Medieval Battlefields ships an update every 8 months, Commander every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
