# Instant War vs Fleet Command II

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Fleet Command II at 78% against Instant War's 46%. Fleet Command II also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). Instant War's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (710 vs 60). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Instant War sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and Fleet Command II sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Instant War holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Instant War has 710 ratings behind it against 60, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Instant War's written reviews are positive against 78% of Fleet Command II's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Instant War ships an update every 2 months, Fleet Command II every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
