# Fire Emblem Heroes vs OUTERPLANE

The clearest difference is ads: Fire Emblem Heroes at none against OUTERPLANE's shown. Fire Emblem Heroes also leads on review sentiment (65% vs 43%) and ratings volume (131K vs 3.7K). OUTERPLANE's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and iOS requirement (14.3 vs 16.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fire Emblem Heroes sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.49 per month and OUTERPLANE sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Fire Emblem Heroes against 4.7 for OUTERPLANE. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fire Emblem Heroes has 131K ratings behind it against 3.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 65% of Fire Emblem Heroes's written reviews are positive against 43% of OUTERPLANE's.

Fire Emblem Heroes ships an update monthly, OUTERPLANE fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
