# ENYO vs Stormbound

The clearest difference is update cadence: Stormbound at fortnightly against ENYO's every 6 months. Stormbound also leads on ratings volume (9K vs 436). ENYO's advantage is review sentiment (84% vs 64%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ENYO sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Stormbound sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ENYO holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stormbound has 9K ratings behind it against 436, so its average is the more settled of the two.
