# StormFire vs Beat Down & Refine

The clearest difference is rating: Beat Down & Refine at 4.5 against StormFire's 2.6. Beat Down & Refine also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.1). StormFire's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (50% vs 40%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StormFire sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Beat Down & Refine sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Beat Down & Refine holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of StormFire's written reviews are positive against 40% of Beat Down & Refine's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
