Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pocket Army at none against War Tycoon's 6. Pocket Army also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.4). War Tycoon's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 68%). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Pocket Army holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.2K and 2.6K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of War Tycoon's written reviews are positive against 68% of Pocket Army's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
War Tycoon ships an update every 3 months, Pocket Army every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
