# Epic Summoners vs Base Layout Pro

The clearest difference is rating: Epic Summoners at 4.5 against Base Layout Pro's 3.0. Epic Summoners also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3.3K vs 3). Base Layout Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Epic Summoners sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Base Layout Pro sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Epic Summoners holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Epic Summoners has 3.3K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Epic Summoners ships an update every 2 months, Base Layout Pro every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
