# BitLife vs Conquer Countries

The clearest difference is review sentiment: BitLife at 51% against Conquer Countries's 31%. BitLife also leads on ratings volume (1.8M vs 76K) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BitLife sells 20 one-off in-app purchases and Conquer Countries sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BitLife holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BitLife has 1.8M ratings behind it against 76K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 51% of BitLife's written reviews are positive against 31% of Conquer Countries's.

BitLife ships an update every 11 days, Conquer Countries monthly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
