# Backgammon Legends vs Backgammon Plus

The clearest difference is update cadence: Backgammon Plus at every 3 weeks against Backgammon Legends's every 2 months. Backgammon Plus also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Backgammon Legends's advantage is ratings volume (44K vs 4.7K). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Backgammon Legends sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Backgammon Plus sells 25 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Backgammon Legends against 4.6 for Backgammon Plus. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backgammon Legends has 44K ratings behind it against 4.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 17% and 18% positive.

Backgammon Legends ships an update every 2 months, Backgammon Plus every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
