# CastleMAGE vs Roman Builder

The clearest difference is rating: CastleMAGE at 4.8 against Roman Builder's 3.8. Roman Builder's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.1). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CastleMAGE sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Roman Builder asks for nothing beyond the download.

CastleMAGE holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of CastleMAGE's written reviews are positive against 100% of Roman Builder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
