# Deck Warlords vs Royal Card Clash

The clearest difference is rating: Royal Card Clash at 4.7 against Deck Warlords's 4.0. Royal Card Clash also leads on ratings volume (256 vs 33) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Deck Warlords's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
